 6The barn had stood for one hundred years and had been abandoned since
 7the horrid tragedy that had happened there ninety-nine years ago.

 9Jonathan Edwards leaned the pitchfork against the hay and wiped the
10sweat from his brow. The summer of 1891. Jonathan was a hard working
11farmer of rural Wisconsin and had been all of his life. He liked to
12work. His doctors had told him to watch the work because of his heart,
13but Jonathan ignored the warning and just kept on with the farmer's
14terribly hard work.
15
16Jonathan worked his way up to the hay mow and sat down when he reached
17the top. Movement caught his eye and by reflex his neck turned. It was
18Jonathan's son, Billy.
19
20``Hi, Daddy,'' Billy smiled.
21
22``Hi there, Squirt, wanna help me?''
23
24``Ya,'' Billy said with an enthusiastic smile.
25
26Billy was five and his dad was his biggest hero.
27
28The young boy walked to the specially made staircase that his father had
29made for him and began to walk up. Jonathan put a hand out to assist
30Billy but was suddenly overtaken by chest pain. A heart attack had a
31hold of Jonathan. Billy's smile quickly turned to a frown as he heard
32his father's shoulder snap and crack with the impact on the rim and
33ledge of the mow and staircase. Billy's neck exploded with blood vessels
34popping out.as he screamed for his father. In a matter of seconds,
35Billy's dad would be killed as he fell on the upturned pitchfork.
36
37``Dad!'' Billy screamed again.
38
39This couldn't be happening. Jonathan twisted in the air as he fell,
40falling with his back to the ground.
41
42``Son,'' he choked in the air.
43
44His arm was outstretched as if to block the sight that would take away
45Billy's innocence.
46
47Jonathan landed on the pitchfork with a terrible force and made a
48grotesque sound that would make his son puke. Four small rusted spikes
49tore up through Jonathan's chest. Jonathan's overalls began to turn rust
50with the presence of gushing blood. Jonathan's arms moved back and forth
51as he was suspended a pitchfork's height off the ground, making it sway
52forward. Jonathan's feet hit the ground at a diagonal angle but had no
53muscle in them---there was too much pain. Jonathan felt his buttocks hit
54the floor next, shifting the pitchfork inside of him to tear more organs
55and tissue. It made a terrible sound that resembled a burp. Jonathan
56arched his neck to look at his boy and opened his mouth as to say
57something. His larynx was interrupted from making any vibrations as a
58waterfall of blood lifted through it and out Jonathan's mouth.
59
60Billy felt his stomach tighten and push. Putrid smelling vomit emitted
61from the boy's mouth and nose into the air toward the wriggling man on
62the ground below. It splattered on the chest of the dying man and mixed
63in with the blood with the stench of death.
64
65Billy was later found insane. Two months later, he was found hanging.
