GENESIS CHRONICLE
Massacre of abducted children causes panic
The discovery of several massacred children -- some identified as those who went missing in the Schoolground Abductions case -- has caused a wave of concern and worry, as the police make greater efforts to track down those respondible for this travesty.
On the evening of October the 31st, Halloween, the bodies of three children were found in the playground of the school where the abductions first took place.
While police has refused to release details, witnesses stated that two of the children were in costume, and a third holding a pumpkin.
Witnesses also stated that it seemed as if two of the children had killed each other, while a third was killed by a gunshot to the head. The third child was later identified as Michael Terrance, the first of the nine children who went missing during the Schoolground Abductions.
The following morning, an incident was reported where a young girl was seen pushing a young boy off the elevated train tracks in Terra, after which the girl ran away. The boy was killed instantly, identified as Dane Kelten, another of the children missing in the most recent rash of abductions.
That afternoon, the girl was seen similarly jumping from the train tracks to her death, and
later identified as Lilian Sakamoto, the last of the children missing in the Schoolground Abductions.
On the morning of November the second, the most shocking situation so far was discovered, when a witness reported the bodies of five children found in the parking lot of Terra's elementary school.
Though the police has once again refused to reveal details, witnesses claim that the arrangement of the bodies and the firearms found on the scene suggest the children had shot each other in a planned ritual.
While none of the five children were of the most recent abduction cases, they were later identified as children who had gone missing months ago. Though autopsies revealed the children had been kept healthy, no evidence that would lead to the abductors could be found.
Many parents have been struck with fear by these recent incidents, and school attendance rates have hit record lows. School officials are concerned that students may begin to resign.
The police are currently resuming their interrogations of all suspects, and are intent on finding the culprit before more gruesome incidents can occur.
