Chapter 1
You find yourself attending a Mardi Gras murder mystery party in Ormond Beach. Overwhelmed by clues and the jabbering speculations of strangers, you decide to take a break. Wandering down a quiet hallway, you notice an unattended door sitting ajar.
Feeling adventurous, you slip through the portal and close the door behind you. Turning around you find yourself standing in a large broom-closet. “This is no good!” you exclaim as your eyes adapt to the darkness. “This room is filled with junk.”
Turning to exit, you pause. Outside the door you can hear partygoers milling about the hallway. An inconvenient waiter parks himself outside your hiding spot and begins to hand out appetizers.
Your exit is blocked. You can’t leave the room until the party moves on, as you don’t want anyone seeing you leave a closet. “They might think I’m making hanky-panky in here! Or doing drugs!”
No need for a scandal or to cast suspicion upon yourself – especially during a murder investigation. Please turn to 247.
