Aspiring Marauder
God, this ****ing story. Read it twice, once in High school and once in University, and both times it's pissed me off. The town folk are such ****ing heretics, there's probably at least one person in that fictional town who fetishizes the whole event. Worst of humanity on display, right here in this story: pointless violence, superstition, lack of compassion, and zealous adherence to tradition.
