After a successful and fun night out which ended very late, going into the earliest hours of the morning, Scarlet and Esong returned to the hotel for some much needed rest. This would be denied to them as they had to rise so early, in the hour when the cock crows, to prepare themselves for the national execution day. A day which for those who had lost relatives was long awaited and Scarlet was sure that she would be collecting fresh souls on this day.
It was unnatural to Scarlet how chipper everyone they came across was about the execution. They all dressed in black as if it was a day of mourning but wore masks of different types, animal, clown, baby and other freaky masks and walked the streets excitedly.
