The Crucible

Evil is among them, Or so it truly seems. Lies afflicting witches, Is what holds the town of Salem at bay. Abigail's mistake quickly turns into a terrible mess, that leads to eternal damnation. They tell the town that witches are among them, to gain privileges that others cannot. John and his wife have kept a cold house, because of John's choice to lay with another. The lies continue for days and days, and people in the town of Salem even start to hang. Abigail's lie leads her to control the town, But what she doesn't know now is that she will eventually go down.
