The villagers of Squaresville awoke and went about their daily chores like they did every day. Not one thing seemed amiss. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the villagers were going about their business.

“Anyone seen Kitanna this morning?” Sleepy Ranger asked as he tuned his guitar.

No one answered, none of them had seen Kitanna all morning. Normally she was out and about spreading her pessimistic ways to others. Her not so cheery disposition and her angry rants had become an everyday part of the villagers’ lives. Not seeing her grumbling and presenting the glass as half-full was a little strange.

“Maybe she’s not feeling well.” Firefoot suggested.

That seemed a pretty responsible explanation. But as the morning progressed, more and more villagers felt a great sense of foreboding. Finally Wilwarin spoke up and announced she would go see what had happened to Kitanna.

The villagers followed to the small cottage Kitanna had called home. Someone knocked, nothing stirred within. Again they knocked and not a sound.

Gently Folwren pushed the door open. “Anyone home?”

They stepped inside. Papers were scattered everywhere, a desk was knocked over, chairs were broken and there, tied to a rickety wooden chair, was Kitanna. All the fingers on her right hand broken and her left index finger cut clean off. Protruding from her chest was a golden handled letter opener.

Next to her lifeless body was a letter scrawled in blood. It appeared that her missing finger had been the pen in this little note. “One down, ten to go."
