Scarecrow of 1889

There once was a boy who was an orphan and suffered abuse from his village residents. The only friend he had was the dummy scarecrow on the field, whom he talked to. One day, a wealthy man brutally beat the boy. The next morning, the wealthy man was found dead, and the scarecrow was covered in blood. Terrified, the villagers were convinced that the scarecrow had come to life to avenge its tormented friend. And it was the last scarecrow ever placed again in the fields, considering it a sign of death. — After scarecrow dolls begin appearing in the streets of Riddleford next to murder victims, the town is thrown into chaos. When the hunt for the mystery scarecrow murderer begins, it is only a matter of time before the famous Frontier Hall Opera House employees are subjected to suspicion, each protecting a secret of their own. But is that all that is going on? Or is there something unseen?

Was it the ghost?

On another side of the town, when Sylvester entered his apartment building that evening, he noticed Margot, his usually cheerful ground-floor neighbour. However, this time, she merely gave him a hollow stare before retreating into her apartment with a definitive thud of her door. Puzzled by her behaviour, Sylvester paused, wondering what had upset her.

Before he could ascend the stairs, Sylvester's attention was drawn to the grumpy neighbour from next door, who was leaning nonchalantly against the railing, eyeing him intently. Then, as if on cue, the gardener descended the stairs, passing him with a nod. Sylvester's mind raced—had he missed some crucial neighbour meeting? Were they discussing him?

His paranoia kicked in. He couldn't shake off the wild idea that perhaps they were conspiring against him, maybe even plotting to break into his apartment. After all, the gardener had skills with metal—could he have picked the lock? And Margot, was she somehow involved too?
