Here is the opening scene of a murder mystery where each sentence has exactly 20 words: Detective Jameson stepped out of the crisp autumn morning air into the opulent foyer of Ravenswood Manor with trepidation. The sound of shattering glass echoed up the grand staircase as he shed his trench coat on the foyer table. A chill ran down his spine as he approached the body of Reginald Pembroke, patriarch of the wealthy family. Blood pooled on the marble floor, framing the victim's ashen face like a crimson halo of violent death.
