Dave

A farmer of good cheer in all he does who was honest and never lied was the farmer Dave. He had everything a man's heart desired; A wife, fields of land, two beautiful daughters, seven handsome sons, many livestock and wealth. A man so lucky? Yes that's true it was Dave who was so lucky as all would say although it wasn't luck but through honest working and living he obtained it. Ah Dave, but as the crow screeches and the blood in many begins to boil towards Dave's merchandise. Axes sharpen, knifes ready to afflict Dave of such a good fortune. "How can we let a man who has so much pity us?! How can we go on living knowing someone has more than he should have?! How can we?! We work hard and are honest but what do we get ?! Let us tear the proud limb from limb, let us burn these witches and sorcerers from off our lands and dispose of them to make our living and days prosperous!! With a roar they thundered across Dave's field, burning the crops "for who will pluck of witches and sorcerers? Killing the animals " for who will eat of the witches and sorcerers? tearing down the fences, and ravishing Dave's land then it was just the house.....with Dave's family inside all trembling.... all wondering if this is the end. "What will they do papa?" One of his daughter's asked, afraid to speak Dave kept his mouth shut and unaware just the same about what they will do. Flames hit the house from each end back to front, the door kicked in, glass was being broken the chairs and table being overthrown " where are you, you devils? Show yourselves" one shouted " Let's go down here it's the last place of the house we didn't look" exposed now discovered by savages going through his home and land destroying it, desecrating it. Even with fine linen Clothing on Dave felt truly naked and afraid as if he was exposed of himself, his dignity his stature and his pride. They burst through the door one by one they picked them up and pulled them outside , trying to stay together they fought to hold each other embracing the unknown but the people pulled them apart "No sweet ending for none of you doers of evil and darkness for you all must suffer in agony for being here on our lands, a punishment so great your evil sprits will go far from here to cleanse the lands" "Why? what have we done? We have been good people have we not?" "Don't listen to his lies, he wishes to deceive us of his evil doings for that I will cut out his tongue" and so he did. Wrapped all around their bodies from head to toe they were then put up on a tree by each a rope hanging from their hands to the tree; They branded them so their sprits will not return to the land, they burned their skin not enough to kill but to leave to be treated then heal then burn once more; knifes were slashed on every inch of their bodies not to kill but to be treated then heal then slashed once more; burning oil was thrown on there bodies not to kill but to be treated then heal then thrown again once more; They put hot coal against their flesh not to kill but to be treated then heal then do once more; Dave's younger child Saraquin his daughter of 2 years died very early because of too much pain and torture she could not handle so she died " you fool how could you let that witch incarnate die so early even though all must die around the same time to uplift their sprits from off this land or else one sprit will look to see it's other evil in arms and return" said a man to someone who poured the burning oil more than he should have. By 7:00pm they all lit candles around the tree and all held arms and sing a song before uplifting their spirits.

After much singing the people laid a covering under them for they said " if their blood desecrate the land we will surely not be released from their evil". Then they Thrown their axes at their sides not close enough for death instantly but to open a wound to leak out blood enough until death for them all. By some minutes they all perished. Dave being 42, his wife 32, his two daughters 16 years old and 2 years old, his seven sons which were 15, 13, 8, 6, 3, 9, and 11 all died for sins they do not know, iniquity they have not done but we're tortured and sentenced to death to cleanse the land for all. They did which was of honesty, hard work only to be labeled being witch's and sorcerers of all they obtained through their deeds.
