   "text": "The fire in the hearth has died down to grey ash, casting long, cold shadows across the library floor where Silas Halloway lies motionless, a heavy brass poker discarded just inches from his hand. You stand over him, your own breath hitching as you glance up at the mantelpiece; the grandfather clock has frozen precisely at 11:40. A low, rhythmic thrumming of wind against the heavy timber walls is the only sound until you reach for the wall-mounted telephone, desperate to call for help, only to find the cord severed cleanly near the baseboard. Outside, the blizzard howls, sealing the lodge off from the world and leaving you trapped with the killer still somewhere inside. You turn, the library door creaking as it pushes open just a fraction more."

   "text": "As you stand in the stifling silence, the library door swings fully open, revealing Mrs. Gable. Her face drains of color as she spots Silas on the floor, her hands trembling as she grips her apron. Before she can retreat, you corner her with your questions. \"I... I was in the kitchen,\" she stammers, her eyes darting away from the body. \"I didn't see anyone, though I heard voices near the study just before the clock went quiet. As for keys... only Mr. Halloway and the master skeleton key held by the front desk staff were supposed to have access to this room.\""

   "text": "You usher the remaining guests into the library; a nervous-looking man in a tweed suit, a quiet woman clutching a silk scarf, and an imposing figure who hasn't spoken a word since you arrived. As they crowd around the body, their eyes inevitably drift to the stopped clock. \"I was in my room reading until past midnight,\" the man in tweed says quickly, though he fidgets with his cufflinks, his gaze darting toward the silent woman. The woman remains still, her voice barely a whisper as she insists she was in the dining hall, while the imposing man simply shrugs, claiming he was out on the veranda smoking—a statement that draws a sharp, skeptical look from Mrs. Gable. You watch closely; the man in tweed’s hands are shaking, and the woman beside him seems to be holding her breath, waiting to see if you catch the tremor in her voice."
