Night was approaching. Outside the skies grew darker as folk began to peer through the windows of Roland’s Diner in their droves. The people hustled and harried, bulldozing their way forward in their lustful quest for small-town scandal. But time was running out. Some brave soul needed to step in and do something. Someone had to stop the crazed madman inside from holding out his gun, and preaching swift death upon his victims…

*

…in no time at all, Officer Powell would have heard three loud gunshots from outside in the street. The three-time Deputy Commissioner of the Year would have jumped into action immediately, commanding his team to enter the diner. And once they did so, once the police finally strapped on their weapons and prayed to their loved ones back home, the poor bastards would have stumbled across three broken bodies for their effort…

*

…each victim would be left with a single fatal bullet wound in the temple. Each murdered in the exact same manner as the one before. The bodies would seem peaceful and undisturbed, with the nearby fire-exit door swinging open on its hinges…leading out into the forest beyond. Alas, there would be no one else around when Officer Powell finally discovered the bodies. No one left to blame for the ongoing sins of this world…

This was it, dear reader. The end.
