Night 1 has ended!
The village seemed silent - which was very understandable considering its few inhabitants and the fact that it was night - but actually, several persons were not sleeping.
Winston Hughes was celebrating what he felt was his catch of a villain of large proportions, sitting in the deserted saloon and pouring himself "just one more" brandy to celebrate before heading back to sleep.
Perhaps the alcohol had dulled his senses, or perhaps he heard the door of the saloon creak after all, but he didn't turn around as another figure entered. In the dark, the man's revolver reflected the scarce light as he raised it to shoot.
Three bullets in point blank range hammered through Winston's head and a fourth shattered the mirror on the opposite side of the bar. The assassilant quickly left the scene, repocketing his revolver.
On his way, the man stopped. Something was not right. He looked around the village a minute before he understood what. The light in Subotan's house was lit. The man hurried towards the house just as a loud noise erupted, followed by a series of shots. When Winston's killer tried to enter the house, he was violently pushed aside by the man leaving the house. They both fled before the dawning light to their own houses, but when the four remaining townspeople met at morning, they quickly went to check on Subotan. Sure enough, with six gruesome bulletwounds, the innocent man was draped in linen, stiff by his own dried blood.
It was clear that there were still people out there who sought the gold for their own and cared little for the lives of others, and so yet another noose was slung upon the gallowbar. Who would hang this day?
It is now day! Night falls in roughly 24 hours!
Please keep votes in the traditional format!
