THE PHILADELPHIA CRIME

After a short while he hears something much worse. Yawls pierce his ears. Sounds pound like hammer blows. The heavy thuds shake the building.

These are the same noises he heard when he punched sticks into the squirrels he'd trapped then killed to see what it would be like. Tonight it stretches on and on and...    

Will it ever end?

The bellows from the young teen girls slow, then stop. The crushing noises continue but howls no longer accompany them. Whimpers and soft wails lapse into faint groans that seem to come from far away.
