No one is innocent we all commit crimes, if you’re not guilty in their eyes, you’re guilty in mine. There are only two sides and a line that divides, if you stand in the middle you’re not on my side….Won’t shed a tear, I know I am right, and if I am caught, I’ll pay the price….If you don’t make a choice it could mean your life for if you’re not on my side you’re a target in my eyes.”

Sunset, Day Nine


“Thank you again for selecting me as your Director. I live for the opportunity to destroy the mafia utterly. This method is a harsh regimen for justice, but we face an ancient and cunning group of thieves and murderers. Harsh justice is the only thing they will understand.”

JimBob paused, gazing at each committee member in turn.

“Hiji!”

Hiji was suddenly stiff and upright in his chair. He was quickly flanked by two of Fermanagh’s goons.

“The Committee has adjudged you guilty and thereby sentenced you to die. Do you have anything to say.”

Hiji stood, silent tears coursing down his cheeks. He spoke.

“None of us, save the Lord, is truly innocent. If this is the way I must atone for my sins, then I go willingly to the Mercy Seat. You too are sinners – all of you! I warn you to seek your own atonement!”

The committee looked at him, some incredulous, others faintly nodding. JimBob merely indicated that the officers should take him away. Hiji was bound and taken to the loading docks to be hanged where the other hangings had occurred. This time the rope was much shorter and the drop did not snap his neck. It took Hiji several minutes to strangle. Whatever visions he saw as he shuffled off this mortal coil he did not share.

“Another one executed. Guard yourselves well this night and prepare to remove more of our enemy from this town. Farewell.”

The Committee filed out of the building and off into the gathering dark of another Fatlington night.
