Snippet of "1661"



The door was shut. The room was dark. The date was 1661. Inside the room were witches of various kinds and nature; the good ones and the bad ones. The room was very hot, the only thing which was to serve as ventilation was heavily locked and bolted with huge metals. I began to wonder how the people in the room were able to survive in the heat!

The room was very noisy, everyone was talking, no one was listening; I could see from where I was observing this historic event, a tall and handsomely clothed man who was beyond beautiful sitting on a throne that was elevated from the ground. He seemed very worried and he looked rather absent-minded. Suddenly, he stood up and he shouted “Keep quiet fellow wizards!”

The noise in the room began to die down, however, there were still two people who were talking. The grand wizard who the fellow wizard call “Beyonville” walked to these two people who were talking, took a knife from the pocket and cut one of their ears each and threw it into his mouth and ate it in a seemingly satisfying manner.

“Thanks for dinner, if you have no use of your ears, my stomach does.” He said and went back to his throne. The slot where their ears were began to bleed and the people around them began to lick the blood that was coming out of the socket. The scene exhibited such disgusting elements. The room was very quiet and he began to speak, “Fellow wizards, we live in hard, uncertain and dangerous times, the Roman Church is persecuting us. This is the main reason why I have assembled all the witches from various nations, race and color into this very room. I know that the room is hot but trust me, after this ritual, it will be worth it.”
