The BBQ Killer
Summer is such a great time of year! The sun is shining, there's not a single cloud in the sky, the temperature might be unbearably hot, but it's still better than the rain. The world just looks so much prettier and bright, especially when the sun shines across green fields making them look lush and rich with vegetation. Even the darkest, crime ridden alleyways of London or Chicago, can look welcoming in this hot, clear weather. However it isn't always sunshine and rainbows when Summer time comes round, not if you live in Texas! Because there is a particularly strange killer, that is still at large to this very day. No I'm not talking about the fictional chainsaw murderer from all of those horror films, this killer is a mysterious individual who has yet to be caught. Whoever they are, they have only ever been identified to be known as; The Barbeque Killer!

The Whispering Woods
Nestled deep within the rolling hills of a small, forgotten town was a forest known to the locals as Whispering Woods. The name wasn’t a quaint, poetic description; it was a warning.
