April 12, 2013: After the last guests had left the museum, the employees closed up shop and went home, too.  That just left the night guards, who had just arrived ten minutes ago, and had eight hours left on their shift.  The three of them took turns guarding the doors, and when it wasn’t their turn, they passed the time by playing cards, watching TV on their phones, and many other forms of entertainment, the details of which aren’t relevant to this story.

            Eventually, one of the guards decided to light a cigar, which everyone who worked at the museum knew was against regulations.  He pulled out his lighter and his cigar, and was about to light it when one of the other guards approached.

            “Hey buddy, you know the rules against doing that sort of thing I’ll have to confiscate your lighter until our shift is over.”

            “Heh. Okay, ya got me.  But how ‘bout I just put this back in my pocket.” replied the smoker.

            The other guard protested, but to no avail. However, when the smoker reached into his coat pocket, he pulled out a bottle of kerosene, and flung it on the other guard. He then flicked on the lighter and dropped it on him as well.

            “You’re right, I better give this to you.” he stated.

He then grabbed his partner, and flung him straight into a fuse box, spreading the fire and electrocuting the man.  The executioner then fell backwards, and was consumed by the fiery red flames.
