DONG.

"John Proctor has been murdered!There is a killer in this town!"

"His body was doused in gas and then he was burned alive!"

"It's the work of an arsonist!"

"Oh no, what if he's with the mafia!"

 To my left, to my right, there were worried people squirming frantically, shouting and screaming about the death of a man named John Proctor. These must be.. townspeople? My fellow neighbors? And the one named John Proctor died. I wonder if I knew him..
