As the sun set, the tension became paramount. Almost everyone in the town was pointing towards iluvatar.
"He is obviously a mafia member! How else could you explain his reasoning?"
"He's not! He's just stupid!"
"Lynch him anyway!"
Those were but a few of the arguments that were thrown around during that day. Now the time had come to lynch iluvatar and everyone was gathering around the platform while a few townies went to look for him.
After a while, they found him hiding underneath a fruit stall. Being dragged to the platform, iluvatar kept screaming he was innocent.
"No! I knew Eltara wasn't to be trusted and look, he was a mob! Nolio framed me! I never did anything wrong! Well, there was that sheep... But I didn't kill anyone!"
But it was all to no avail. The town kept booing him as he was forced up the steps. Finally he was in front of the noose. As he realised what was about to happen, he became rigid. It was too late to fight this and he knew it.
The executioner tightened the noose around his neck and nodded at iluvatar.
"Any last words?"
Iluvatar looked at the crowd.
"You all sucK."
And as the world went dark for iluvatar, the town investigated his house. They had lynched another townie.

I'll never know if it was worth the pain, but I still loved it more than anything in the world - it was my life.
