Drabble challenge April 2024: ARISE
Spring has sprung and it's the Easter season. (Yeah, yeah, it was in March, but just go with it, eh?) This month's drabble challenge is THE UNDEAD. Give me a 100 word prose story, using standard English and punctuation, that tells a tale of the restless dead, arisen from their eternal slumber. Zombies, Vampires, Wights, Revanants, you pick it. I'll pick the winner sometime around the first of May.

And So Ye Has Decreed: Execution
Seventeen-year-old Abraham Sooth ended his life by hanging, found by the housekeeper in the service house, two miles adjacent to the main estate.
As of yet it is unknown what drove the young man to suicide.
As of yet, it is unknown that a soul is stained and marked for judgement. Their crime, the sin of murder upon an unrealized life, a string severed too soon and by pain so cruel and excessive.
It bordered on the barbarity of Hell itself.

And so decrees ustice given form as thee breathes life.
