A familiar song of violence echoed in the night. The sharp staccato and the solitary sharp note, the music of death the villagers knew by heart. The sun rose to reveal the work of darkness. Headcount was conducted. Two people were missing.
The villagers went to inspect the cesium tree. A body was swinging from the noose. Gnomes2169 was cut down, the customary single bullet hole in the back of his skull confirmed. A search of his home revealed knives, guns, and cement concealed in barrels. Gnomes clearly was a goon in the service of the godfather!
Whatever joy to be found is cancelled out when the villagers discover the body of J. He has been shot in the back enough times to write the Hippocratic oath with the holes. He was the doctor for the village.
Paranoia is the order of the day. The villagers eye each other warily.
