The Scourge of Ephesus - Day 7 - Conclusion



Ephesus - The Prytaneion - 8.00 pm

The tourists started to discuss.

Some voices could be heard whispering in the air: “Do not lynch him, I strongly urge you to lynch that other guy, nonono, disregard that, lynch the guy I said you absolutely should not lynch at first…”

The tourists concerned started to yell against each other and, strangely enough, against the wind.

The other tourists seemed to pick up the sounds and started to point their finger at those named by the voices. The tourists named by the odd metallic and boo-ing voice started to sweat and they defended themselves against the accusations vigorously.

All of the sudden, Caius jumped up and he pushed aside a few tourists. He gave the old man a kick and grabbed his gun.

“I can’t take this any longer!” Caius yelled. “The horror, the killings, those sounds, the lynchings, the strange accidents. I want to get out of here!”

Caius put the gun in his mouth and fired a shot. He died instantly.

“Ok, ok, enough of this already,” an aggressive tourist said and he grabbed the gun out of Caius’ hands.

“You there,” he said, pointing the gun at CountArach. "It seems like you have the most votes."

CountArach looked very pale and his voice trembled when he said: “So it seems indeed.”

“Any last wish?” the aggressive tourist said.

“Well, I really love that local liquor they have here,” Rakı”. And I would also love to hear that popular Turkish singer one more time. What’s his name… Tarkan!”

“You really like that rubbish song?”

CountArach shrugged.

“Oh well then,” the aggressive tourist said and he took his mp3-player and gave it to CountArach.

Another tourist gave him a bottle of Rakı.

CountArach took the bottle, drank from it and pushed the play button of the mp3 player.

At the tones of Tarkan he continued emptying the bottle of Rakı.

He hardly noticed how the aggressive tourist pointed the gun at him and ended his life with a single bullet in the back of his head.

The shooter put away the gun and turned to the gathered tourists.

“Time to go to sleep.”

The old man added: “I hope this nightmare will be over now…”

“Shut up, you fool!”

The tourists walked away.

Night fell over Ephesus. Again…
