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?

Behind cell bars!

Sylvester found himself in a cell in the local prison, where his handcuffs were removed. He had made his phone call, which was to his sister, but no one had picked up the phone. Someone had killed Margot and the blame had fallen on him. He paced back and forth in the cell, until a guard arrived. 

"The detectives wish to speak with you," the guard announced before unlocking the cell door.

As a young woman and man entered, Sylvester pleaded his innocence, desperation creeping into his voice. "This is a mistake. I swear I didn't kill anyone. Detective Addison, can you please contact my sister and inform her of what's happened?"

Addressing Sylvester, Addison's voice was firm as he spoke of the damning evidence. "Mr. Crowley, we've ordered a thorough re-examination of all evidence. Thus far, the fingerprints found at both your mother's apartment and the scene of Sebastian Daniel's murder match."
