The story takes place in Salem, MA, during the Witch Trials. The scene is a 100% fictional inquisition by the non-fictional Reverend Parris of Salem Village.

As you may gather, I like to have some fun with the dialogue here and there. Link is below.

I very much appreciate that, thank you. I'm actually new to this fiction thing. This was the final scene I needed for an Act 1 rough draft, and it's probably one of my favorite scenes :)
