Journal entry 1
This court is now in session, bring
the defendant forward. Mr. Rainsford you have been accused of murder, do you
plead guilty?”
“I don’t, Zuaroff was a hunter and
a mass murder. If you were there before the death you would possibly see
thousands of bones, clothes, and other belongings to people that have gone
missing. When I was at his manor I was supposed to use self-defense to try and
win at his hunting game. I also happen to have a couple of eyewitnesses. These
were twelve Spaniard sailors who were being held prisoner in the basement of
Zauroff’s mansion. Also, like most of the other victims, they were out sailing
until they mysteriously crashed on the island. Zauroff even had guns in his
manor, but if you were to look around you would see no animals of any kind
living there. That is all judge.”
“Alright, I have found you not
guilty, court dismissed.” As Rainsford was walking home he noticed from far
away something gleaming was on the roof. As he tried to get a better view he
could only make out that it was the barrel of a gun. Soon he look up at his forehead
and noticed that there was a red dot. Before he had enough time to react he was
already on the ground bleeding profusely. Slowly his eyes closed and soon he
heard the siren of an ambulance. When he woke up he saw doctors and nurses
running up and down the halls. When he was looking around he saw a letter that
was on the nightstand right beside him.
He opened it and it said: “Mr.
Rainsford, I must congratulate you on two things. First, being able to survive
a bullet to the head and second, beating my father at his favorite game; but
now the real fun begins. As I vowed to my father, I would be the next player to
continue his match. You may have been able to survive, but now it’s my turn and
like my father I don’t miss or lose my targets. Now you won’t be able to turn
your head with out being afraid of something stalking you.
Sincerely Bobby Zauroff
