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?

Electric chair

Dr. Colin Hall couldn't believe that there were only two more days left before the officials would come to see his patient, Sylvester Crowley die. Not through mercy killing, but with torture. 

"Dr. Hall?" Sylvester called for his attention as the alienist had spaced out during the session. "You seem disturbed today. Are you feeling unwell?" he asked in concern. 

"Forgive me, Sylvester," Dr. Hall apologised before offering a smile, "No, I am fine. It is just, work has been a little too much and has occupied my mind."

"If you want, we can take a break and continue some other time," Sylvester stated, and after a pause, he added, "The others agree with me too. Agnes says it is the first time you have spaced out like this and may need a break."
