Murder Party

After Cindy’s lifeless body was discovered, the chilling news spread like wildfire. You quickly checked the island for anyone else, finding nothing, and made your way to the main building with Mera, who walked silently beside you, her face unusually somber.

Sarah and Kitty were already there when you arrived. Kitty stood near the window, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, her face pale. Her voice broke as she spoke, barely above a whisper.

Kitty: “The… telecom antenna… it’s smashed.” Her usual bravado was gone, replaced with trembling fear. Sarah stood next to her, her fists clenched and trembling, unshed tears glinting in her eyes. Sarah: “Someone did this on purpose,” she muttered, her tone laced with restrained anger.

Max and Theo burst in moments later, their expressions dark with fury. Max’s voice exploded first, sharp and raw. Max: “The boat! The motor’s completely wrecked! This isn’t an accident—this is fucked up!” He ran a hand through his hair, his breaths quick and uneven. Theo followed, his face flushed as he threw his hands up. Theo: “Even if we can fix it, it’s gonna take at least a day! A full day stranded here with no way out!” His words hung in the air like a death sentence.

Sarah turned to face everyone, her tall frame rigid, her wide eyes darting between the group. Sarah: “No… no, this can’t be a coincidence,” she said, her voice trembling but clear. Sarah: “Someone here… someone wants us trapped. They’re trying to kill us, or—” She paused, her breathing shallow. “Or keep us here. Hostage. Right? That’s not crazy to think, is it? Right!?”

Her desperate plea for reassurance echoed through the room, but no one answered. The silence was heavier than the tension, the weight of fear pressing down on all of you.
