Dark Fortress Continued (2/01/2007)

He dragged the Madman kicking and screaming out of the room and down the hallway. The chain digging into his neck as he was  pulled along the ground.   Blood pouring from his missing hand.    Down the stairway and out the fortress entrance.   The Madman was fighting to keep up –gasping for breath.  As the Pineappleman reached the outside  the birds perched a top the head topped spikes flew off into the distance as the Pinappleman continued to drag the freak along the dirt roadway—leaving a trail of blood in his wake.   By the time he reached the forests edge –the Madman  was dead—having bleed out.  The Pineappleman  stopped for a moment.  Then continued to drag him through the forest.  After 30 minutes or so –he reached the edge of the village---The town appeared empty---But as he dragged the lifeless body through the center of town  people started appearing from the doorways.  He reached the end of the small street and dumped the Madman's corpse at the foot of the steps of the palace at streets end.   "Come out" the  Pineappleman  screamed .  "It is over"
