NIGHT ATTACK, CITIZENS TERRIFIED

     EDEN FALLS CEMETARY- As dusk approached Eden Falls, citizens found their ways into whatever housing that they could.  A lucky few found themselves in the luxurious Eden Hotel.  Most of the population found themselves in Suburbia in the houses. Those that were unfortunate found themselves in the Alley.  At 11:45, the residents, Andrew Veritas, Diane Destiny, Lauren DeGuidice, Riento Kujantaka, and Tony Caleb, were all resided in House Yellow.  They claim that an “Angel” stopped by and announced that this house was safe from any destruction for that night.

          At midnight so residents claim that they heard screams in the night.  The first victim of the night was Chris Diswiz.  Chris wasn’t able to get into the Eden Hotel or a house and had to take the night in the alley.  Survivors of the alley claim that he got up to go and “relieve” himself, but never came back.  Authorities found his body in the cemetery.  His body was in an open grave and then put aflame.  Diswiz moved from Bay Area, California.  He was a young seventeen-year-old actor in search for a better life.  After witnessing the Deputy Mayor’s death, Diswiz decided to take matters into his own hands and form the “Climb Organization”.  This was an anonymous organization where people would get together to help find dogs, and then lynch them.  At the grand opening of this organization, Diswiz stated:     “I realize that I have put a target on my head, but no worries.  If I can get this going, it doesn’t matter if I die.” 

     Later, a townsperson known as Polly Greenfields spoke out amongst the organization and to let the police keep things under control.  Greenfields often held a protest against Diswiz’s organization but with very little success.  Greenfields and Diswiz often argued about everything related to the safety of Eden Falls.  Diswiz once stated:       “If any dogs are listening, please either kill Polly, or kill me because I cannot stand her.”

     Is this the comment that brought Diswiz to his death?  Was Polly a part of this?  One thing is for sure, Eden Falls, isn’t as safe as everyone thought that it would be.  Diswiz’s death has brought an end the Climber Organization it seems.  Was this effort for nothing except a certain doom?

     At 1:32 AM, an explosion occurred in the offices of the Eden Observer, which was suspiciously left unlocked.  The explosion killed, Eric Diggory, Robert Warhammer, and Blaine Devereaux.  All three were left without a hotel key, or a house key.  Were they simply seeking shelter in the building?  Why would the dogs attack these citizens?

     Eric Diggory was killed on impact along with Robert Warhammer.  Diggory is a seventeen-year-old student that had just moved to Eden Falls from Maine.  His only crime was loving all 17 pets.  Survivors in the alley say that he needed shelter for his pets and asked Warhammer and Devereaux to help him carry them to the newspaper office where his cubicle is.  Diggory wrote for the Eden Observer to make some extra money to provide shots, and food for his pets.  A low profile citizen in the town, no one is exactly sure as to why he was targeted by the Dogs.  Diggory seemed to have plans to leave Eden Falls and head for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.  A list of supplies was found in his pocket on the night of his death that was to be bought at Jawa’s Shop of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

     It seems as if Diggory had recently been appointed as a member of one of the Quidditch teams at the school.  Little did Diggory know that his days were limited and he would never attend the school.  Were his plans of leaving town what triggered the Dogs to put him on their hit list?

     Robert Warhammer also worked for the Eden Observer who wrote about current events for the public to be a part of.  Warhammer was a polite sixteen-year-old city boy from New Your City.  Upon moving into Eden Falls, Warhammer opened up the very first arcade.  “Fantasy Arcade brought the games “Bookworm”, “Mummy Maze”, “Alchemy”, and “Diamond Mine” to the public.  Warhammer was very frightened of the rumors about the Dogs.  He quoted in his journal that was found in his pocket the night of the explosion: 

     “Day 3, Eden Falls Mall:  Life here is going well. I have submitted articles to the local newspaper, in hopes that I will be accepted among the staff. I have also started an arcade to keep the people occupied, and let them play around. The poverty levels in the town sicken me for some reason, and I am hoping I can do something to change that.  I stopped by Madame Royale’s stand today, she was not that talkative, I could see she was concerned and upset about something. Also the rumors going on about the murders has increased, and I am afraid it will eventually come true. That would be a terrible thing, as everyone in this town would be easy pray then. I hope it never comes to that.”

     Warhammer was very concerned with the dirtiness of the town and participated in the town’s Karaoke night to raise money to clean up the town.  Warhammer had left town while keys were being given away for the hotel and houses.  Warhammer was stuck in the alley where he had no idea his life would end.

     Blaine Devereaux was the third person killed by the explosion.  Not killed instantly by the explosion, he slowly bled to death leaving a bloody trail to the elevator where he managed to fit the “Lobby” button but he was slashed by a knife as he was crawling out of the elevator by, what it seems, was a dog making sure that everything was going as planned.  The Secret Agent, along with Jason Carver as a possible Dog, accused Devereaux.  Not long after, Carver was shot and murdered and was found to be a Dog.  Blaine’s accusation must have been dropped because the Secret Agent spared him.  Blaine was another quiet person in town and no one is sure why he was killed.

     The fifth killing occurred at 2:02 AM.  Jeremy Beaulieu was murdered right outside the alley when he decided to take a walk to relieve the stress of him possibly being killed.  He never came back from that walk.  His body was found outside the Mayor’s office.  Almost none knew him except the Mayor.  They were close friends.  Beaulieu was a 17-year-old college student that moved to Eden Falls for the summer from Saco, Maine.  He had no idea that this tragedy would befall Eden Falls.  The grieving Mayor will be the only one attending the burial ceremony.

     At 3:47 AM the sixth killing occurred in the night.  Adam Turk snuck into a swimming pool at one of the houses to take his mind off of the Dogs.  While he was swimming, the Dogs let alligators loose in the pool.  Everything was caught on the home security camera system.  The residents of House Red didn’t hear a thing.  Turk was a sixteen-year-old that moved to Eden Falls from somewhere in Massachusetts.  Turk was another member of society that wasn’t very well known.  The alligators now are believed to be roaming about in Suburbia.

     Tammy Unicorn was found by John St Croix and became the seventh killing of the night.  In the middle of the night she got up to make a snack.  While in the kitchen, she was strangled with the cord of a toaster by a Dog.  St. Croix was stopping by the next morning and found Unicorn’s body on the floor, and called the police.  Unicorn, a forth-one-year-old women, moved from Southwest Iowa to Eden Falls for a quiet place and a better life.  Not many people at all knew Unicorn but she will be missed nonetheless.

     Caleb Green was the eighth killing in the night.  Green broke into the Tavern to get a drink.  Later while he was in the middle of a drink, a Dog shattered a bottle on his head and stabbed Green in the stomach with the same bottle.  The Dog pulled the bottle out, and left the Tavern as Green fell to the floor.  Not entirely dead, Green stood up and exited the Tavern and started to walk down the sidewalk but soon collapsed and began to crawl, leaving a bloody trail behind him.  Authorities later found him with his organs missing and his heart torn into four pieces.  Green moved to Eden Falls from Berlin, New Hampshire looking for another job besides bartending.  Green is yet another death that not many people knew.

     The ninth death is possibly the most interesting.  Cory Lishus, a reporter for the Eden Observer, heard the explosion with the other three deaths while working late to complete a story.  Curious as to what happened, Lishus headed down the stairs to see three masked men climb into a van.  Lishus started to record everything on his voice recorder.  Thinking he may be on the something, he climbed into his car, turned the headlights off, and followed the van.  The van parked at an old warehouse and the men got out and went inside.  Lishus parked his car across the street and crept his way to the warehouse.  There he climbed a ladder to the top of the building.  Looking down into a skylight he saw six to seven men in hoods.  After a silence on the tape Lishus makes the comment:

     “Oh my god… Where did they go?  I’m going to go look over the side of the building… I knew that that this was a bad idea.”

     Lishus’s tape ended there and was dropped over the side of the warehouse.  The Dogs found Lishus.  He was bound, beaten, drowned, revived, stung by scorpions, and then run through with a Japanese weapon called the kitana.  Why did Lishus decide to follow the van when he could have easily lived through the night?  Lishus was a true reporter with an ambition but didn’t know when to stop.  He decided to move to Eden Falls from British Colombia.  The eighteen-year-old was the discoverer of the LOM organization and its members.  He will never be forgotten and will always be commemorated for solving and finishing the story of LOM.

      The final homicide of the night was Heimi Weibchen, who came to Eden Falls from Germany after his wife died four years ago, looking for love and to pursue his passion for journalism.  He was found dead in his own tavern.  Weibchen was gagged, stripped, and tied to the floor.  His intestines were laying around about him to form the words “It’s a ‘W’ asshole!”  Weibchen was well known for the most successful business in town.  His Tavern attracted all customers and was a big hit.  Aimee, Weibchen’s newlywed wife, is grieving over the loss.  It is for sure that Weibchen’s death will impact the town the most.  On a better side, Weibchen’s ghost will still be writing for the Eden Observer.

      The morning after the homicides, the town decided to take matters into their own hands, as the police obviously cannot handle this themselves.  A note from the Secret Agent also became public.  This note told them to lynch Ben Scorpion and that he is for sure a Dog.  The town went into frenzy.  Scorpion tried to persuade the mobs in another direction but it was too late and the crowd stabbed him with knives and any other sharp objects they could find.  As soon as the rioting calmed down, a dog tag with the name “BENJI” on it was found.  The Dog BENJI had been lynched.  Scorpion was a well-known and liked citizen but seemed to be brought to his death by the work of the Secret Agent.

     A ways down the block, Polly Greenfields was cornered up against the side of a building.  Devon Spasms was there trying to save his friend.  Spasms was pushed out of the way and the town lynched Greenfields.  A few citizens leading the lynch mob claimed Polly was a liar.  Some people weren’t even sure she was a Dog but lynched her just to spare the town of a person like Polly.  Sure enough though, Greenfields proved to be the Dog “SCRAPPY”.

The last lynch victim was Shane Magicman.  Magicman was an innocent townsperson that was in the alley and was brutally stampeded upon while the chaos was occurring.  Not many people knew Magicman and he proved to not be a Dog.  The very first innocent person has been lynched.  So far three Dogs have been killed.  Jason Carver, Ben Scorpion, and Polly Greenfields; will the Secret Agent be able to snipe them, or will the townspeople be able to lynch them?  Eden Falls is starting to fall apart.  What does this place have in store?
