The Clocktower Confession

9 min

Campus security found a folded note jammed between two gears inside the old clocktower bell mechanism. The note appears to be an encoded confession or warning left by one of four people who had access to the tower that week. The note's author used a personal encoding method to obscure the message.

The scene

A crumbling Victorian clocktower at the edge of a small university campus. A folded note was found tucked inside the bell mechanism, discovered during a routine maintenance inspection.
