Salem Witch Trials

I walk thse same floors of my house everyday, but today something felt different. As I look into the eyes of the little girl in the corner, she instantly started yelling and runing around the room flapping her arms. I was very concerned at the sight of this because i didnt know what was going on. Am i a witch? i have never felt like a witch before, what should i do? Why would i have this effect on someone? Before i know it everyone in town is yelling "Witch, Witch". The leaders of the town all ran to me, tied me up and took me to prison. I sat with the other accused witches as we all awaited trial. I heard their stories of their experiences.Many of the other women that waited with me in prison also thought that they were innocent. I waited my turn until they came to get me and i got my chance to plee my case. I knew my life depended on wether i said i was guilty or innocnet. I thought long and hard about what i would plee. Should i say that i am guilty and maybe make it out of this? Or should i say that i am innocent because i know i am? I make my way to the town court. Everyone in town is around watching my trial like i was an exibit at the zoo. As soon as i say im innocent the entire population gets angred because they are set on me being a wicth. They begin to throw rocks and me and chant that i am a witch. What have i done to deserve this? I have been a respected member of this communtity for years. And now the people i set with in church are throwing rocks at me. After the trial is over i have been sentenced to execusion. I proudly take my punishedment because i now that i am innocent. I know that i am not a witch so my spirt will forever live on.
