Nine villagers gathered in the square.

Eight were the number counted by one villager, until he remembered to include himself.

Seven of them were shivering in the chill of the autumn morning, except for the two who had remembered to bring a coat.

Six eyes tried very carefully not to betray a gleam of happiness at last night’s successful killing.

Five noses were running due to the cold.

Four handkerchiefs were all they had between themselves, and no one was willing to share.

Three crows flew overhead.

Two dead leaves, the very last ones, fell from a skeletal tree.

One villager was dead, and his name was Nilpaurion Felagund.

~*~*~*~*~

Half full was the glass of water on Nilp’s table – although most of the villagers perceived it as half empty, and they had every right to do so.

The villagers realized in horror that a full third of their number was lupine.

The Shirriff’s body had been quartered, and the pieces were scattered.

One quarter was nailed to the wall of each corner of the room, and the fifth piece, the head, was in the dead center of the room.

The villagers left the house in a grim silence that enveloped them all.
