Hey, guys...remember that hangman game I did?

[jkid101094]

Well, I was bored...and I just realized I never gave it an ending. So, being the nice guy that I am I decided to modify and finish the story, so that it all flows together like a book. Of course, my writing is sub par. Especially compared to Miss Kay's, but, I hope you guys enjoy it anyway.

You can view my original topic here, if you're curious or weren't around back then. :3

Everyone was busy with they're usual rounds that day. SSB was the proud owner of an apartment building in his quite little town. The town was no bigger than a foot ball field and out in the middle of no where, still, it managed to quite relaxing. The residents there never knew life outside their dank little town. Besides SSB there were eleven other residents taking who lived in the apartments. Draco, the town prostitute. Trance Raver, the town druggie. Rendel, the leader of a local mob. Windlessusher, the proud owner of the local shop. Ioshyriku, the local assassin for hire. SS12, the owner of the restaurant across from the apartment buildings. And, two townsfolk, by the names of Gamerdude and Kirbysoul. They all lived their lives in that apartment. In a way, they were all family. They quarreled as much as they helped each other out, and they did their jobs as they saw fit. However, that all changed, the day the hangman came to town...

"He who serves me best.", said he "Shall earn the rope, on the gallows tree..."

The moon was bright as everyone huddled in the town square that night. Three names had been chosen to be sent to death. Everyone shuddered, saying their goodbyes as the hangman began to read the list of names........."Jeexx......Rockout...Jazz..."
As the called individuals were separated from the crowd they knew their fate was sealed...one by one the hangman put their heads in the noose.
"It's a trick! A dirty rotten...", Jazz didn't even finish his sentence before he was surrounded by the darkness of his own demise. The townsfolk wept over the loss of their friends and proceeded home for what they believed was the last of their sleepless nights. They didn't know how wrong they were...

Levi approached the town square, his bags all packed in the trunk of his car. He had visited the bustling town. It's usual peaceful atmosphere had become quiet dank. A slight chill filled the air as he walked into his apparent. There he saw a memorial dedicated to the three who had lost their life's that day. He muttered as he proceeded to his new room. He was in no unpacking mood, nor did he feel like greeting his neighbors. All he wanted was to go to sleep. That night he heard people crying in the next room over. "Must be friends of the deceased.", he then began banging on the wall, signaling for silence. The cries stopped immediately.
"I could couldn't care less about the deceased, just shut up and let me sleep..."

The next sun rose high above the dim, gray town. But the dark clouds looming overhead may it's refulgent glow no more than a mere glimmer on the courthouse square. Wind was the first to awake that day. The hangman, being gone, would mean he would get his business back soon. But, when he looked out his window, the sight he gazed upon deprived him of his hope. The gallows-tree still loomed over the the town, seemingly higher than it had the previous day. And the hangman...still standing there...with the hemp rope in his hand. Waiting for nightfall...

Later on in the day, a meeting was held in the room of Jeexx...
"Who do you think he wants? Wasn't three enough?", SSB looked puzzled as he sipped his morning cup of coffee.
"He won't get me. I can get anyone in the sack if the situation calls for it."
"I wouldn't flatter myself in you're position.", SSB looked at Draco and smiled, "If you weren't the only girl here you'd get no business at all!"
Draco laughed at the comment and marched off to her room. She had money to count anyway.
"All I know is, that someone among us is a dirty crook, and if that one person should die to save the rest, so be it." Kirbysoul crossed his arms. He knew he had made a point.
"I'm not going anywhere. If I get called, I'll just make a run for it.", SSB looked around the room at the others. The moon is almost up. Time to see what this guy has in store."

Everyone gathered around the square. SSB was the first to speak up.
"Hangman! Did you not hang the criminal yesterday? Surely they were the only shady ones?" The hangman laughed at he stared directly at SSB.
"Do you think I've gone to all this fuss, to hang one man? That's the thing I do, to stretch the rope when the rope is new." Again they said their goodbyes. Only a few of them would be coming back. The Hangman smiled his pointy-toothed smile as he gazed upon the crowd. He then held up 10 cards.
"What the hell? Is this guy going to show us a magic trick? Hey Houdini! Get the hell off the stage! No one came here for a damned card trick!", Levi was irritated. Someone was going to die and the murderer was playing with cards? The hangman ignored him. He tossed all ten cards in the air...all but two were carried away by the wind...he caught those two with a swift flick of his hand and read the first name...Wind...how ironic..he smiled as he gazed at Wind. His fate had been sealed...
"Hell no! I ain't dieing in this shit hole of a town!", Wind ran as fast as he could in the opposite direction. A cloaked figure stopped him in his path,seizing Wind by the throat, it carried him to the gallows-tree...Rendel was hung soon after, and his blood stained jewelry was smashed to pieces. 

DShad had walked a long way. He had traveled for miles when he noticed the dark town. He noticed the Gallows-Tree soon after arriving. He knew there were residents here. It had clearly just been used. His search lead him to the apartments, where he heard weeping, he also heard someone yelling at the rest to "shut their traps before he stapled them shut".
"Um...may I use a room for awhile? I promise to pay you.".
"Sure.", SSB replied, "Five just opened up.".

The following night, everyone, once again, appeared outside before the hangman. Once again, SSB spoke up.
"Hangman! What is the meaning of this? Did you not get your man last night? Who is the one who's served you most faithfully? The proper one for the gallows tree?"
The hangman simply smiled. "It's a simple trick that we hangmen know. To ease the trap when the trap springs slow."
Nerves wracking, they pondered if this would be the last night they'd have to be out here. The hangman pulled out his list..."How many names should I call tonight...hm...", he rubbed his chin.
"We don't have all night dammit! I'd like to go to bed!", every shushed Levi. He was bound to get them all killed.
"I think I'll call...four...", everyone gasped, half of the town was about to die. The hangman began to select the names..."Trance". Trace stared up at the hangman, his cold, beady eyes, looking straight at him...Trance took one last puff from his weed and proceeded to the nus.
"Kirby Soul". The hangman showed no remorse as Kirby Soul was hung..."Draco". Everyone gasped. Draco was the last person that they thought would be called.
"If you let me go, I'll make it worth your while hun.", she said with a small grin...she was swinging back and forth from the gallows-tree within a few seconds...and last but not least...the hangman smiled the biggest, most terrifying smile he had yet.
"Levi", Levi glared at the hangman, his face pale as snow. "Great, two days in this hell hole and you already plan to hang me...well FUCK YOU!". Levi took off as fast as his mortal feet would take him. And again the robbed man appeared from the shadows. The hangman made sure this night, was a gruesome one...

This night was darker than the previous. The five remaining townsfolk gathered around the gallows-tree, which was at least 5 times the high of which it began. They all stared nervously. The hangman was in his usual position with the hemp rope in his hand. He pulled out a book. It was torn and ripped. It obviously had a previous owner. Then a page fell out, a drawing of some sort...The book had belonged to Draco.
"There are some...pretty interesting things in this book.", The hangman laughed as he began to read two names from it. "DShad and GD'. Had Draco known them beforehand? DShad was the only one to walk up to the gallows-tree. Where was GD? Everyone began to look around, then, out of the shadows emerged the robbed man. He pulled back his hood, revealing the familiar face of Gamerdude. Everyone could not help but gasp as GD approached the Hangman. "I thank you for you're help, but now your time is up." No one spoke as both men were hung. The hangman then proceeded to pull out another object, one of Rendel's rings that he wore the night he was hung. On it, was scribbled a name..."SS12".
"Hah! You're buddy is dead! There's no one to keep me from escaping!" SS12 ran to the edge of town. He was shocked to find a barbed wire fence surrounding it. "What the hell?", he screamed and kicked as he was dragged to the gallows-tree by SSB and Ioshyriku, the final two. For another's death at the hands of the hangman, was their relief...

The sun rose low on the final day. SSB awoke to check the rooms...all but one was completely vacant. He could not believe, that all of his friends had taken so swiftly. He stepped outside to peak at the town square, and to his surprise the gallows tree was still there...and the hangman...still stood fixing the long, hemp rope...

The final night. SSB and Ioshyriku stepped out in front of the hangman. They both stared at each other, each confident that the other had brought all this upon the town...the hangman glared at the two.
"Well?", SSB was anxious. "Are you going to get this over with?"
The hangman just smiled. He glanced back and forth among the two for the moment, then called the final name.
"Ioshyriku."
"What? How could it be me? I've never helped you with anything!"
"Oh...but you have...you sat back and watched your friends die, without any sort of rebellion...you have served me better than anyone."
SSB helped put Ioshyriku into the noose. He swore and jerked as his entire world faded to black. SSB could not believe what he had done...but he had no choice..."I hope you're happy." SSB clenched his fists. "Because of you I've lost everybody. What kind of man goes around killing innocent people like it's a game!?"
"You're no different than he, SSB. You also stood back and did nothing...you helped me just as much." The hangman smiled.
"What!?" SSB couldn't believe his ears. He was right. If everyone had just rebelled and worked together from the start...no...he wasn't going to suffer the same fate as his friends...SSB quickly lunged for the hangman, he wasn't going to die by his hands!...All he heard was a gun shot...then found himself on the ground, holding a bullet wound in his chest. "You lied to me...you bastard..." SSB's world turned black...all 14 people were dead. Scattered bodies that had been refused burial, now lined the town square. The hangman just smiled at his deed. "Lied to you?" He smiled his pointy tooth grin. "I did no more then you let me do." He laughed as he walked off, leaving the bodies to decompose.

The townsfolk were discovered by police who managed to cut through the barbed wire fence. There they discovered the remains of all the dead townies. An officer searched the body hanging from the noose. He searched all around the gallows tree for any evidence of who committed the crime...there...on the gallows beam, was inscribed a name. He called for another officer to check the name.

"Looks like jkid has struck again."

Like I said. Not good at all.
Little planning was done on this anyway. :3
But hell, at least we finally got an ending. 8D
