The Judge stood up, and solemnly looked at each of his
son's in turn. The calloused gray face of him was delighting in his torment. He flashed a smile, revealing a rotting
mouth full of teeth, and slowly spoke.
"I am afraid, we are just poor country yokels. We don't have any fancy electric chairs, like I've seen on
the telly. But I got to thinkin'-we do have a chair and we have got plenty of electricity. I reckoned it be pretty
simple to combine the two."
Frank watched in total horror as the Judge plugged a cable into the socket, at the other end were simply bare exposed
wires. As the electricity raced down it,it appeared to bring it to life buzzing, cracking and dancing about. Frank
felt each sinew and muscle tighten in agonizing realization of his impending doom. His eyes opened wide and his
face became snarled almost beyond recognition.
The Miller brothers began cheering frantically both in encouragement of their father's actions, and in a wicked
taunting towards Frank. The judge walked gravely towards Frank as he watched on helpless. The wires gyrated now;
just an inch in front of Frank's engorged eyeballs. Then in one terrible split second, the wires converge onto
Frank's pulsating neck. For a few seconds Frank's body convulsed and then dropped limp. His eyes resembled hard
boiled eggs in the sockets. The stench of cooked flesh perambulated throughout the barn. The brothers start to
holler and shriek, unable to contain their delight.
An hour later the Millers were climbing into there battered Land rover Defender still giddy at the night's proceedings.
The Millers were pig farmers, in fact the biggest pig farmers in the entire county. They were renowned for their
prize winning hogs for miles around. People often wondered why there pigs were so much grander than most but they
had a secret; it was in their diet. The Millers were in possession of an industrial meat grinder, and all of the
food they consumed was prepared by the brothers from scratch.
Frank's charred body was quickly reduced to 200 lbs of pulverized flesh, bone and sinew by the immense machine.
Then the meat was taken in buckets out back to the pigs who grunted greedily in expectation. As the meat was scattered
down it was quickly gobbled down by the dozens of oversized hogs. They devoured with remarkable fury every last
scrap, and then seemed to beg for more.
After the hogs were fed the brothers once more climbed into their land rover. Moments later the vehicle sped out
of the barn yard, and headed back to the old farmhouse, which lay half a mile across the Miller's field. The sun
now had completely set, and a soft blanket of mist hovered idly above the grass.
They were unsure what happened next. Jimmy Miller suddenly screamed out in a panic, claiming to have caught a fleeting
glimpse of something he could not quite describe approaching the back of the truck. He wasn't sure what he saw,
yet some sixth sense deeply imbedded within his consciousness bawled at him that it was unnatural and that danger
was looming.
The Defender accelerated, faster and faster still, it was then apparent to the entire family that they were being
chased, but by what no-one could explain. Perhaps some energy form, hell bent on revenge. ..
Unexpectedly there was a colossal flash.
When the bodies were discovered the next day, each one had been scorched beyond recognition. In fact dental records
were the only way to identify one corpse from another.
As the confused police officers examined the scorched bodies he just scratched his head in disbelief.
Must have been spontaneous combustion" he said.
