No scattered votes this time; the village had two main suspects, and by one vote it was decided that the phantom should be put to death.

He was indignant about this turn of events. When the townspeople came to hang him, he refused.

I won't give up my life without a fight he said coldly.

The villagers looked at each other, and then advanced on him. He stood up and braced himself for combat. That was enough to make the villagers leap towards him, pinning him to the ground.

But he fought like a man possessed, like a wild animal! He was wounding his fellows with his teeth and his fists. It took several minutes to keep him still. Tying him up was also very difficult, but they managed.

They led him to the gallows, but he almost broke free! So furious was he at this, the end of his life. Beast! they cried, Wolf! Curse you for what you have done! And the phantom did not argue (for a change). He merely stared at the villagers with hatred in his eyes, having been tied up with more rope.

Here was a werewolf thought the village.

And so the executioner (not without pleasure) did pull the lever, and the phantom fell, and another neck of the village had been snapped.

But his body just swayed in the wind.

At this sight, the wolves hidden in the audience laughed hidden laughs to themselves. Another innocent had been killed by his fellows.
