GH is going mental...
The summer night hung over the town of Cicero, Illinois like a haunting specter. Dark clouds abounded tonight, meaning little natural light was gleaming upon the townspeople. CountArach, however, was undaunted neither by the clouds nor by the imminent threat that seemed to be posed to the town. As per his custom, he rocked slowly on his porch, a cigar slowly working its way through his system through the night as he savored every bit. So content with his cigar was CA that he failed to notice an oddly formally dressed man approaching his porch.
“Good Sir,” the man asked CA. “I don’t suppose you could offer me a cigar for the night? I seem to have run my supply dry, so to speak.”
“What’s that now? Y’all want my cigars?” CA queried the man. The wheels slowly clanked in CA’s head, when it struck him. This was one of the killers! Here to steal his precious Cubans! CA scrambled up from his rocking chair, looking to get back inside to snatch his weapon. As he reached the door, a loud BAM! Was heard echoing through the mostly silent neighborhood. CA dropped to the floor of the porch, his hand slipping from the doorknob, just out of his reach. The man quickly stepped up to CA, looking down at the quickly dying man.
“We thank you for your generous donation to our cause, good Sir.” The man bowed to CA, grabbed the box of cigars, and stashed the sawed off shotgun back the wing of his suit. With a hop to his step, the man took off into the dark night…
Tiberius of the Drake, much like his now deceased counterpart across town, decided Chief Vonken’s warning to be off only modest concern. He was still playing tag with his two precious daughters in the front yard, when a sleek, black model T drove up to the modest sidewalk which predominated Tiberius’ front yard. Curious, Tiberius stood up at attention to the new guest. He could visibly see a figure in a rather large trench coat and Fedora in the passenger side of the vehicle. With a quick snap, the figure pulled from out of view a sub machine gun and clicked the ammo in place. Eyes widening in panic, Tiberius shouted to his daughters “GET DOWN!” Just as the words escaped his mouth, a different sound, a distinct metallic rattling escaped from the weapon. Tiberius was still in plain view of the gunner, standing no chance against the barrage of bullets. As he collapsed to the ground, Tiberius vaguely was aware of the sound of a vehicle driving away, and the teary-eyed cries of two young girls….
The Next morning…
Police Chief Vonken stood once more upon the carriage, his voice booming over the mass of now highly scared townspeople. “Last night, Tiberius of the Drake and CountArach were murdered in cold blood! We must catch the culprits NOW! I assure you, the station is doing their best to solve this horrible killing spree, but until then, the town must take action NOW!

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

Mainly random at this stage. Don't really have anything else to go off of.

When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples

I was busy untill today and didn't have a chance to post. I'm reading the thread now but it will take time to get caught up with 14 pages of posts.
