Hm, intriguing! Didn't occur to me that he might be a mannequin (although there was a weak pulse). Excellent story!

I've watched a lot of detectives, so I know it can happen. Either someone posing as our colleague at all... The latter, by the way, has only just occurred to me.

With him cloaked all the time, how could we tell?

Hee! Nicely done.

Thanks

I have been wondering how they confirmed it was him when he was in a cloak and nobody knows what's under it. Lol. I suppose that's part of the mystery!

In detectives, it usually happens that you identify a person by what you've seen on him or her. That's what I assumed. I warned you, I can't write detectives.

Nice contribution Werty, and interesting idea re the mannequin!

too cute Werty... I liked it...

Vix

Thank you.

Oh! That's where I left my life-sized dummy of myself... What? Why do I have one those? Uhm...

Nicely done, much enjoyed.

Since we don't know your face, it seemed to me that this would be a convenient reason.

I mean, at least it wasn't a blow up doll.

Yes.

And this is where the true murder mystery begins: with his disappearance explained, all the guests locked in, and the paramedics distracted by the mannequin, FTD can start picking us off one by one...

I enjoyed Diego's cameo. Which of us haven't argued with a character we made up?

Huh...mannequin you say?

Promptt is a cool name haha. So one of the other guests has been murdered, you said lying in a pool indoors? Did you also mean to say pool of BLOOD!!!?? So much BLOOD!!!

11 glasses of water?!!? This dude is going to have to pee before he solves any of the clues on the case!

Diego was 'revived' at some point? What happened to him in which he had to be 'revived' from?

Lol, it seems that Diego is breaking the 4th wall with the audience and admitting he is a made up character, hahahaha. Hoo boy this is going pretty deep down the rabbit hole already.

That's pretty creepy that the murderer could still be lurking in the room, trying to avoid detection by waiting for days in the ceiling or something, since it's possible they didn't leave yet.

I like how you leave the story on a cliff hanger with multiple questions and possibilities dangling in front of the audience, as they can try to make up their own mind with what is happening.

Prompt is a task for writers what we can see every Thursday. And this is help me training my writer skils

Yeah I figured Prompt was a literary exercise that was challenging you to write with new concepts and ideas in mind, on a timely basis. Please keep sharing the results of your weekly séance with us :)

I will try.
