    by Kelly Blair The Activity That Must Be Stopped Tom turned to the young man and said, "Since you've checked the archives, you should know who died in that seat. They were all bad people, really bad people. Jack Thompson and that colonel don't need to be mentioned. What did that guy who came back do when he left Elmwood Town?

    by Kelly Blair By early 1949, a colonel in the local militia, perhaps elated after a small victory, was so cocky that he ignored everyone's advice and insisted on sitting in Seat 18 of the first row.

When the two actors on stage were pretending to be blind, a bullet came out of nowhere and hit the colonel right in the forehead, killing him on the spot. Right after the town was pacified, a local man who had been away for many years returned in glory. On his first night…
