The Cry at Midnight

In a moonlit Riverview winter, high‑school skier Penny and reporter Jerry dash down a snowy slope after a night around a fire. As midnight approaches, Penny must head home, taking a shortcut that passes the foreboding Abbington Monastery, an ancient stone ruin whispered about in town. The cold air sharpens as an unsettling cry rolls from the monastery’s empty walls.

What begins as a simple ride turns into a puzzling investigation when strange noises and flickering lights hint at a hidden presence inside the crumbling cloister. Penny’s curiosity and Jerry’s knack for uncovering stories push them deeper into silent corridors, where an odd footprint, a rusted lantern, and a half‑written diary suggest something long forgotten. Each discovery raises more questions, and the listeners are drawn into their midnight quest, feeling every crunch of snow and every shiver of anticipation as the mystery slowly unfolds.
