7892. BY THE COMING OF THE SARACENS

BY THE COMING 

OF THE SARACENS

I do not care about anything, and this is

not the name of a band. There are gallows

now in everyone's backyard, erected by

a mandatory edict. We just watch them

for any activity  -  each neighborhood

now has an appointed marshall.

-

Infractions of even the silliest quality can

cause you death, and these gallows are

for ease and efficiency. The old colonial

churchyard at the Episcopal church

down by the Elks hall has been put

back into use. There are wagons,

and mounds of dirt everywhere.
