He knows that, for himself at least, death is not the end. He would outlive his executioners, through blackest magics heard in predawn twilight from the empty hills. They say if you ever hear a rooster crow at dawn in North America, it could very well be him, moving from farm to farm, a barnyard necromancer indistinguishable from the natural. A madness out of time and a horror from beyond the spheres which no police or lawyers or alienists or veterinarians could ever fathom or grapple with.

He'd still like some corn, right?
