Mobs by Paul Tristram

The end of Eve’s Tyrannical Reign

over the village…

was as simple as it was shocking.

They found her at the bottom

of a well… broken arms and neck.

No witnesses, no nothing…

it must have happened between

first light (for that’s when

her husband Fred left for work)

and noon (that’s when Sharla

discovered her, on account

of Eve’s terrier dog Scraps

barking and yelping near the well).

All those lives she ruined

during the Infamous ‘Witch Hunt’,

the burnings and hangings…

I, personally, remember her smugly

and loudly declaring

“I have eradicated each and every

‘Enemy’ without bloodying

a finger”, as a group of thirty of us

walked back along the Old Road…

following the last of the Executions.
