One Page Murder Mystery

Write a one-page murder mystery where everyone is trapped in a single room.

This prompt pairs classic elements of thrillers or mysteries (a closed room, a group of suspects, a fatal outcome) with the brevity demanded by flash fiction. You might focus on developing dense atmosphere, cryptic clues, dramatic interactions, or surprising revelations within the constraints of one page. This is an exercise in conciseness and tension-building, combined with exploring themes such as suspicion, fear, guilt, and deception.
