Melissa gets home after a cold walk back from work, wearing her overcoat and scarf. She puts down her bag, exhausted after a long day. Melissa sits down at her computer and scrolls through the local news. A story catches her attention… a serial scarf strangler is at larger and has claimed his 13th confirmed victim! Melissa is freaked out at the news as a chill runs down her spine. A knock at the door draws her attention. She wasn’t expecting any guests… Melissa looks through the peephole of the door, then steps out into the hallway to see who it could be. No one there, Melissa drops her arms in frustration. As she heads back inside, a masked man appears from the shadows and wraps his hands around Melissa, one covering her mouth and silencing a scream! The Attacker grabs on to Melissa’s scarf and pulls it tight around her neck, choking her painfully. He pushes the girl forward back into her apartment and shuts the door behind them as he continues to strangler Melissa with her scarf. She gasps in agony as her eyes roll and she fights at the scarf around her neck. Then she is brought to her knees as the Strangler jabs a knee into her back and holds on tight to the scarf, choking her out with ruthless efficiency. Soon she has lost all of her breath and she slips into unconsciousness, falling limply onto the floor of the foyer.

The Strangler picks up the limp girl in his arms and carries her over to her couch. He runs his hands down her face and body as she lays asleep on the couch. Melissa wakes back up slowly, confused and afraid. The Strangler attacks once more, latching onto her scarf and strangling her on the couch. Melissa struggles and squirms, her face growing flush red from the force. She kicks up her feet and swats at her attacker as he overpowers her on the couch. Melissa can do little to resist the killer’s will, and eventually her struggle subsides and she goes limp on the couch, dead with her eyes open and mouth agape. One hand still holding onto the scarf in a death grip, a futile attempt to catch a breath. The Scarf Strangler has claimed his 14th victim… He snaps a couple photos on his phone of the fresh corpse and her final expression before he makes his escape.
