PRESENTATION OUTLINE
BLASPHEMY!!
By: Ethan Welsh-Alix
Mary Pottsfield, an innocent woman with no family left, lives in Salem. It is the year 1698, the same year that the witch trials occur. For most people, these witch trials here are good. Mary included, thinks that witches are horrible beings. Little does Mary know that witches have two sides, a bad AND a good.
Mary lives in a little house by herself. Many of the people around her don't like her much. They will do anything they can to make her life horrible. One day, they take things just a little too far.
CRASH!! Smoke had found its way into my room. I knew this couldn't be good as soon as I woke up. I found the flame burning through my house, and into my room. There were too many thing in my mind to think clearly, but I had made a decision. Get. Out. I ran at the window and....
SMASH!!! I had made it! but what was going on? there were people at my house, and they seemed to be cheering. This was unusual, but I didn't care, I just wanted to leave. These people didn't seem to want me to leave though, one of them knocked me out cold.
I woke up in a prison cell of some sort, and I wasn't alone. There were quite a few people here, and that was when I realized that I was in the witches prison. But I wasn't a witch, was I? No, I am not- Then what am I doing here? I ask around a little, and found out what I was doing here. I was arrested for being a witch, and I was going to be executed in a few days.
All the witches, except for me, start to hatch a plan, a plan to escape. The plan is to stop eating the magic subduing substances, and attack the guards as they escort us out to the stakes. The plan was called 'Free the free!!
The morning before the execution was something different from normal..VERY different. The morning food that was offered was very luxurious. Only the rich could afford such good foods, but this was all a trick. These food items were all filled with the anti-magic poison, so we couldn't escape. HAHA! nice try police men!
Good thing no one fell for the trick, or we could have all lost out lives. The witches and I all pretended to eat, but did not. The escort to the wagon train was very small, but the escort of the actual train was a different story...
There were huge guards guarding the train. as big as 30 foot tall rock monsters, and DRAGONS! There was no possible way to escape... and that smell... what was that smell...?
The next thing I remember is waking up. But not in bed, on a stake. and yes, I was about to be lit on fire. But I wasn't alone, all of my fellow people were with me. The only thing that I thought to do was yell, "ATTACK!"
It worked! Everyone was shooting spells and doing witch things. Everybody was running at the forest, all except for one. One on my good friends was going to make a sacrifice, one to save all of our lives, she ran directly into the raging mob of giants.
All of us, to this day 10 years later, will never forget her sacrifice. Our legend, what we did will never go away. All of us one day might wither away from existence, but our story and bravery will not.
