witch trials.. they ended long ago in the US..but this time is messed up

Arthur was minding his business, riding his horse, he heard commotion far into the woods, a woman’s voice screaming and other people

“What in the..” Arthur spoke in his southern drawl

He got off his horse and sneaked over into the woods

he saw..a cult in white saying lines and a woman tied to a tree..screaming and begging..they were gonna burn her..they held a torch, they were ready
