DAY THE FIRST
After some shocked silence followed by contemplative silence, and finally awkward silence, the townspeople began to deliberate. Not a single one seemed to suspect this mysterious figure who had just appeared one day in this town. Perhaps it was for the best. He sighed and stared off into the distance. Who knew what dreams he viewed with the mind's eye? Were visions of other towns floating before him, his teetering bulb of dread and dream not giving him any respite from the past, the destiny of this town having played out so many times before?
No, that was just absurd.
As the sun snuck away from view, having discovered newly found shyness and perhaps not wishing to glimpse the carnage that awaited the town, the man stood suddenly.
"So it's decided," said he. "
Catharsis shall be mayor!" The words mocked the sullen occasion of this man's sudden promotion.
"Thank you, thank you," he said. There wasn't enough time for any celebratory speeches.
"Our first mode of business--"
"Is the lynching!" A voice from the back of the crowd yelled. This seemed to be a rather amenable idea. Suddenly
Domination3000 and
electric926 were pushed to the front.
"Lynch them!"
"Yeah!"
Apparently sometime during the day the mysterious man had built a scaffold, on top of which was a station suitable for hanging a rope, which he hung there, and a trapdoor suitable for hanging people, which of course immediately followed.
First was Domination3000.
"I'll have you know," he said, but the executioner didn't wait for him to finish speaking and pulled the lever.
Next was electric926. He was resigned to his fate and didn't speak a word.
With a creak and a thud, he died.
The town having failed to catch any mafia members on the first day bothered no one. Happily, they all returned home...
