Structure of the plot and the rhyme

The plot is structured around the ten lines of the rhyme "Ten Little Indians".

Ten little Soldier Boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine.
Nine little Soldier Boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight.
Eight little Soldier Boys traveling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.
Seven little Soldier Boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.
Six little Soldier Boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.
Five little Soldier Boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four.
Four little Soldier Boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.
Three little Soldier Boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two.
Two little Soldier Boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one.
One little Soldier Boy left all alone; He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.

​

Each of the ten victims – eight guests plus the island's two caretakers –

is killed in a manner that reflects one of the lines of the rhyme.

The reception room has an antique and luxurious vibe.

There is a piano located inside and people can go out through the terrace.

I mainly used red and turquoise colors.

On the dining table, figurines implying the death of the main characters are placed.

Red and green colors are mainly used.

I rendered an image imagining a synthesized scene showing the main characters

spending their time of anxiety and fear in their rooms at night.
