A very short locked room mystery just for fun.

George wakes up in a locked hospital room, handcuffed to a bed, with no memory of who he is or how he got there. The doctors say he was one of them - a respected psychiatrist who had some kind of breakdown. They show him photos. Tell him about a wife. A life. A past. But none of it feels real. As he tries to piece together what happened, strange things begin to happen. Voices through the vents. Flickers of memories that don't belong. A warning whispered in the dark: Don't trust the man in white. George doesn't know if he's losing his mind, being lied to, or waking up to a truth he was never meant to remember. This is a slow-burn psychological thriller about identity, memory, and how terrifying it can be to not know if you're the victim - or the one who caused it all.

Artemis Fowl, the great criminal mastermind, or rather, former criminal mastermind, meets Edogawa Conan(or rather, Kudo Shinichi, detective). In a hotel at the heart of the bustling city of Singapore, a mysterious murder attempt on a strange victim. What will happen when these two brilliant minds meet in these circumstances? *This story takes place sometime before the Atlantis complex of the Artemis Fowl series and sometime before Conan meets Sera in Detective Conan. I may make references to certain events that happen in both series, but that is unlikely. Characters however, will be developed to the extent I have mentioned earlier, so it would be best if you at least read through to that part of both the book series and the manga/anime series. Leave me a comment, and tell me what you like or feel could be improved about my writing. Enjoy. :) [Companion guide available!!] *PS: This will be a mystery fan fic without much romance. Maybe about as much as Detective Conan.
