Day 3
Tim Hernbar wasn't about to simply let
his artistic talents go to waste because of
the nonsensical advice of an insane knight.
When it became clear that Larry Dowlon
did intend to stick him through with the silver
dagger, he made a break for it.
Out the church he ran quick as a whip
with the others in hot pursuit.
Suddenly, a strange sound pierced the air.
*BOING!*
"What was that?" someone cried.
"Run away!" yelled another.
And then, hurtling out of the sky towards
them was the shape of a cow, which
just happened to land directly
on the fleeing artist.
"I guess we better stab him to be sure
he wasn't a werewolf, eh?"
Dowlon plunged the dagger into Tim's
neck and watched in anticipation.
"What happens now?" asked Sarah horrified.
"Apparently nothing," Dowlon concluded.

Later that night, Brett Jonasco stood
reflecting in the Garden of Reflection.
"Fastball? Splitter?" he said in anquish.
"I have never second guessed myself before!"
He continued to argue with himself as if he
had an angel on one shoulder and a demon
on the other. He brought up past games and
recalled counts in which he'd called for the
wrong pitch only to see the ball land hundreds of
feet away in the hands of a happy fan.
Gradually, he worked himself into a frenzy,
the hair on his neck standing on end.
And then he let out a mighty howl.
***
Elsewhere, Eli Solmirro was busying
himself watering the gravestones.
"I can always think more clearly," he
said to himself, "When I'm farming.
Just because they won't grow doesn't
mean they don't need the love and care
a farmer can provide."
He worked his way through the broken
stones, taking care of each one in turn.
"It's really ashame to see that no one
paid attention to these!"
In his studiousness, it was clear that
Eli wasn't paying attention either.
He never heard the creature that
came swiftly from behind, and was
quickly dispatched from this earth.
***
One who did have an eye on what
had happened in the graveyard was
a cute little panda.
He stood and watched from behind the
tree until the werewolf left the graveyard
and then confronted him silently.
After seeing the situation, the werewolf
charged forward.
A gunshot came with the first movement,
but the werewolf charged on ...
... straight into the waiting dagger.
The panda took his leave as the
creature lay defeated.
As the life drained from him,
Brett Jonasco returned to his human self.
***
"I've got some good news," Dowlon began
the next morning, "and some bad news."
"Give us the good news first!"
"The bad news is that Tim Hernbar was town."
"Boo!"
"The good news is," Dowlon went on, "this
lovely landscape has just increased in value
ten fold! I guess it's true that artists are
never appreciated until they're dead."
"Is that it?"
"Actually, no. It seems that Brett
mauled Eli to death before someone
stabbed him in the neck.
"Naturally, that means that Brett was
a werewolf. Eli, as I'm sure many of
you can already guess, was a loyal townie.
"Now go make all your votes happy votes."
