RaMafia Special - The End

[STM1993]

New Haven. Based on their previous experiences, it seemed logical as a name for their town. Founded far away from their original homes to escape the atrocities committed overseas. In these dark times, many have lost friends or entire families. Restless and unerring, one after the other disappeared, only to shortly after come back, mutilated to death in the most gruesome ways possible. The war against the Mafia would never cease. Not at their so familiar homesteads.

Seventeen were capable of escaping. United by their common fear, they overcame any sort of barrier and settled here. Although their traumatic background certainly evoked suspicion amongst them, they reached a peaceful coexistence. How long would this last, though?

The situation quickly deteriorated with the arrival of a new face. Cautious affections made way to skepticism betwixt the citizens. It was just a matter of time until the powder keg would explode.

With dusk breaking the light of the day, the lifeless body of a settler was discovered, placed atop a makeshift townhall and glimmering in the evening sun. A small trickle of blood was running down the roof and dripping into an adjacent rose bush, covering its pink petals with a deep red.

Something was on the way. And it would start tonight.

...

A puncture wound. Probably a spear, straight into the heart. Severe inner bleedings and a bit running out of his chest. Spy The Man was almost instantly dead. Whoever committed this was a professional. One laceration and it was over. The trauma, on the other hand, had returned.

Survived last round. Did not want to join this round, but said I didn't mind being a meat shield to start off the game. So I died.

One bite would be enough. A masked man opened a crate and let its contents loose. Like rabid wolves going after their prey, several snakes slid quietly across the wooden boards, straight to their victim. One bite. And it was over. They were gone as fast as they came.

Another one was roaming the town, though. He noticed the unlocked door and crept in. When he saw the motionless body of yet another citizen, he noticed the bite marks. Quickly, he began his routine and soon after, the seemingly dead man's heart started beating again. And in the shadow of the night, the stranger escaped as well.

This morning, seventeen awakened. The Mafia had failed that night. And now, somebody had to pay for this... with their life.

Mafia released snakes. Snakes bit a townie. A (doctor?) saved the townie.
