Here is the opening scene of a murder mystery with each sentence having exactly 20 words: Detective Jameson sipped his cold coffee, gazing out the rain-soaked window of his office on a dreary Monday morning. The streets of New Haven were always quiet this early, but today felt especially still and oppressive somehow. A chill ran down his spine as he reviewed the latest case files, searching for a connection to make. The phone on his desk jolted him back to reality, shrill ringing piercing the heavy silence of the room. He answered with a curt "Detective Jameson" and listened intently, his gut twisting into a familiar knot.
