I want to write a series of mystery stories that all end the same way

Like an anthology of maybe about 12 short stories where at the end of each one it's like, "ohhh it was ice that melted."

For example one would be where a guy hung himself standing a large ice cube and the detectives are confused by the puddle of water underneath him and no chair. They think it's a murder at first.

Another story is where some water from melted ice short circuited electronics or something, same detectives, same outcome. They keep coming across puddles of water at different crime scenes. I dunno, I didn't really put much thought into this, but I want to devote the next five years of my life making it happen.

Any other suggestions?

    By the end of the third short story everyone is going to know how it ends, dude.

    If you want to write detective/ crime stories then go for it (I've just started writing fantast myself, it's a lot of fun!) But you need to keep the reader guessing, and having every story end the same way will certainly not do that.

    I've recently been writing a story that's entirely in second person, slowly kills off the party of adventurers the protagonist is with throughout the book, and ends with a near hopeless protagonist falling to their death after stepping on a moving floor trap. I'm planning on having the final text of the story be something like, "You feel the floor start moving out from beneath you." or something like that. It doesn't matter what your premise is, as long as you like it.
