when the clock struck midnight, a loud chiming noise filled the room. all the lights in the house went out, and a soft glow suddenly appeared in the corner of the room. suddenly, a mysterious figure appeared, and a strange voice whispered something incomprehensible. everything was silent and still, until the figure vanished and the lights came back on.
