One common element is a sense of loss. In a sad mystery short story, there's often the loss of a life, a relationship, or an ideal. For example, in 'The Cask of Amontillado', Fortunato loses his life due to Montresor's revenge. Another element is the unknown. There are always things that are not clear at first, like in 'The Yellow Wallpaper' where we don't know exactly what is wrong with the narrator at the start. It creates the mystery.
One sad mystery short story is 'The Cask of Amontillado' by Edgar Allan Poe. It tells the story of a man who seeks revenge on his so - called friend by luring him into the catacombs and walling him up alive. The atmosphere is gloomy and the mystery lies in the narrator's motives and the events that led to such a cruel act.
