Gallows Hill
Hanging is a complex method. It is an execution handed down to the Puritans from the English.If you got hung you were not a good person to "them", the Puritans. There is only one hill in Salem and that hill was the hanging tree, or Gallows Hill. The accused witches were carried by cart , (about 3/4 of a mile). There were many crowds and taunts. During the hanging process the victim had a chance of swelling of ears and lips, bloody mucus; escaping the nose or lips. The victims urine is let out right before they die. After the process, the bodies were disposed in shallow graves on Gallows Hill.
I need to know what is working and what isn't.
It is a good piece, I like how you know so much about how they used to do the hangings and how you know all the small details. I dont see anything wrong with it. :)
