✿::: A Murder Mystery :::✿

I thought it would be fun to play the Treasury Story Game anyone who wants to play can continue the story where I left off in the comments and then the next person will continue where they left off and so on and so on, should be pretty interesting and fun! You will have to click on the Treasury and read the comments to find out what happens.....

The beginning.....
It's a cold damp night in Sin City as Lydia lies nude in her bed. She impatiently waits for the phone to ring or the door to open but it's been so long now that she jumps at every little sound. She can't help but wonder.....

It's the scent of the only one that can help you now, the same one that took your life, he is laying right beside you, he is...... your maker!
