Massacre at Ridges Manor

(For full effect, turn music off until after you read...then play smooth criminal)

It was a dark cold night. The wind was bellowing violently outside creating a thunderous noise against the side of the house before all went quiet. Suddenly a loud scream pierced the silence. Blood could be seen covering the floors, creating a trail to where the victim lie. It was shiny... fresh, not spilling more than a few minutes previous. As she crept closer, Sara could only imagine what could have caused this horrific scene. The weapon lie near the victim's foot with its sharp blade glinting in the light. As she knelt down to examine the victim's condition the hair on the back of her neck immediately stood on end.
The pool of blood underneath the victim's foot was horrendous. She swiftly grabbed a towel to put pressure on the gushing limb. It was soaking straight through. She knew she had to act quickly or else she may lose the victim to unconsciousness. She shuffled around in a drawer to find the super glue, remembering once being told that it could close wounds. She smothered the severed opening to no avail. The blood spurt right through the liquid barrier. Her only hope would be to hold pressure on the wound until help came.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, a tall handsome man burst through the front door. The bright light in the background prevented his face from being identifiable; however, his unmistakable silhouette was a familiar sight for sore eyes. Sara breathed a deep sigh of relief and realized the victim would be alright.

... Later

As the investigations proceeded as to what happened that night, the mystery couldn't be unraveled by even the best detectives. The case was closed forever.
Was it the work of a Shadow of Nothing?...I think not. This was an act of a devious mastermind with a plan and one plan only. Forever, only Sara will realize that her plan to clip her dog's nails had failed... will she try again?
dun...dun...dun.....
