Martin's mouth was wide agape as if he had witnessed the most horrifying scene of his life.  His mind raced with disbelief and horror as he stared at the grisly scene before him. The image of Carl, the person he had respected and trusted, lying lifeless on the ground shattered his sense of security and understanding.

Despair and fear gripped Martin's heart as he struggled to comprehend what had just transpired. His thoughts whirled with questions and doubts, unable to make sense of the sudden and brutal attack.

Before he could utter a word, a figure emerged from the shadows, stepping forward with purpose. Martin's eyes widened in surprise as he recognized the silhouette, his heart pounding with a mixture of fear and dread.
