Everything takes place over a few hours, or entirely set during the immediate aftermath of an automobile crash, for example?

I'd like to avoid "and it was all a dream", time travel, or similar plot devices if possible.

I'm curious what a novel of any length purposely confined to a strict time window in-story reads like.

Maybe I should be reading more plays.

Thanks.

Oops, I forgot you said: I’d like to avoid “and it was all a dream”

But it wasn't! Even if it did inspire the immortal line: " There's more of gravy than of grave about you"
