INTRODUCTION
The moment we hear 'Psychological' in the book verse, our minds drift to those mysteries that have always kept us on the edge of our seats. It could be the murder next door, or a thickened plot of espionage, it all reels through our heads in seconds. Because it is always so difficult or almost impossible to crack through these situations, we admire thrillers a bit more than others.
And to kickstart our journey (again), we bring you the 'Enigmatic Contest'

2. Someone confesses to a detective about committing a murder, giving perfect details about the crime, but the person they say they killed is still alive without injury.
3. While driving on the highway, you witness an accident on the road. You decided to help the victim and take them to the hospital, and hours later, they disappeared. Is something odd happening in the hospital, or is something worse going on?
