WW XXXIII - Other Minds and Hands - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

On Day 2 of filming, the mood among the cast and crew was grim. Suspicion was cast on almost everyone; but in the end, Saruman was the least trusted; and the Downers gathered round him where he stood on the studio roof, hatred and fear in their eyes.

“Will you have peace with me, and all the aid that my knowledge, founded in long years, can bring? Shall we make our councils together against evil days?” asked Legate, in a last desperate attempt to save himself.

“So would the trapped wolf speak to the hounds, if he could! What aid can he give you, forsooth? All he desires is to escape from his plight!” retorted Boromir.

But Saruman's voice worked its magic on the others. The mob suddenly turned on Boromir. Durelin doused him in gasoline and set him alight...

...Boromir turned and ran 1000 yards down the length of the studio roof, then turned and raced back again, by now completely clothed in flame. He turned a third time and sprinted back again, showing no signs of slowing. Some of the Downers could not refrain from cheering as he completed a final lap, and set the record for the first mile run in under three minutes while in flames. Finally, he plummeted off the end of the roof.

The Downers shuffled reluctantly to the edge and peered over...

....to find that Boromir88's charred and smoldering corpse was still quite human.

Day 2 is over. Everyone mourn in silence. Wolves may PM. Send your picks by an hour before deadline tomorrow, please.
