In a land far away known as Lesbia there reigns Queen Deborah, a fair but stern leader of her people. As with all royalty she has a staff and on the staff is the scholar Barbara, full of wisdom and blooming with outward beauty. She and Queen Deborah have a secretive relationship that goes beyond academia. But Deborah is also a progressive woman and has affairs with many people, both men and women. One of her lovers is Constable Jollyrei. One night in a break from a marathon lovemaking session Jolly informs Debbie that her trusted scholar Barbara had arranged for Debbie’s (yet another) lover Piper Marie to be hanged in Little Brampton of Cruxton.
Debbie does not believe Jolly at first but he explains that he was her warden in the Cruxton Prison and Piper was hanged like a common witch. Debbie is appalled by the news and says “You don’t mean Piper was hanged in the square on a market day?”
“They don’t do cloistered hangings in Cruxton. Not only was she hanged naked before the crowd the executioner Tree was hired lynch her” Jolly replies. “It was a brutal death as Piper slowly strangled for more than a quarter hour before she died.
“The only upside is her meat was delicious at the archbishop’s brunch the next morning. There is nothing like well fried witch meat.”
Debbie is shaken by this news and asks Constable Jollyrei to have Barbara arrested so she can be tried on these charges. Jolly comforts her and assures Debbie that he knew she decide wisely.
As Debbie hugs Jolly he informs her that his deputies already have arrested the murderous bitch.
Debbie is relieved to hear this and asks Jollyrei to summon The Hanging Tree to handle the execution of Barbara Moorewhen if she is found guilty of such a horrible deed.
Barbara is already locked in a cell stripped of all her possessions. Barb knows she is in deep trouble but doesn’t know of what magnitude yet.
I wouldn’t want to be Barbara at this time…
