END OF NIGHT 1
The townspeople awoke to what promised to be a very beautiful day. The sun was shining brightly in the cloudless blue sky, and few tumbleweeds tumbled about. The wind blew in from the northwest, bringing a welcome chill from the otherwise hot day.
As they all reconvened in the town square, one man noted that his good friend seemed to be missing.
Likely slept in, the lazy oaf, he thought.
The mayor presided over the gathering, which was still full of an air of cheer, although certain members had not gotten over their qualms about the murder.
"Now, is everyone all present and accounted for?" he asked.
The aforementioned man raised his hand. "I durn't know whar
Darth Caesar is, Mr. Mayor. Perraps we should look fer 'im?"
The mayor nodded. "Good idea,
choxorn. Townspeople, follow me to
Darth Caesar's house!"
*
Rap! Rap! Rap!
The mayor's sharp knock echoed in the quiet street as the townspeople waited for Darth Caesar to poke his head out of the above window or out of the door. When 10 minutes and many more raps had gone by, a muttering began that the mayor didn't like. He turned to the group. "Sheriff, would you do us the honor?"
The Sheriff picked a few strong men out from the crowd, and as one they slammed hard against the door. It opened easily.
"Wasn't bolted," remarked the Sheriff. This didn't help the attitude of the crowd, and their muttering only grew louder.
The mayor shoved his way by the men and marched right upstairs. The sight he saw arrested him immediately.
There
Darth Caesar lay in bed, which had turned red from soaking up the massive amounts of blood that was leaking out from the multiple bullet wounds that he had suffered.
From this, it was quite obvious that
The mayor gulped. It was not what he had been expecting. From behind him, the Sheriff and his men pounded up the stairs, stopping short at what confronted them. One retched violently and ran back down.
"Can you make anything of this, Sheriff?" asked the mayor.
"I'll do my darndest, Mr. Mayor, but I don't know what I'll find. We'll see though."

After they had all paid their respects to
Darth Caesar, the mayor reconvened the gathering in the square.
"We must find the ones who did this. I have asked the Sheriff to set up a gallows.
Whomever receives the most votes today will be hung, no questions asked. I know this may seem desperate, but we obviously have a group of men here who are desperate themselves, and we must take appropriate action. Thank you for understanding."
He paused, reflecting upon what his next words might mean for his heretofore quiet little town.
"You may now vote."
