The Crucible Epilouge

      A short while after the Salem witch trials Abigail Williams hitch hiked to New York. She was much of a gold digger, and still trying to get over the love of her life, John Proctor. She was living in beautiful Mansion with anything and everything she could ever want. She did not do anything except lay around her house all day admiring all her beautiful belongings. It is said she felt actually guilty, but who knows if that’s actually true. Everyone in Salem had a large grudge against Abigail. The people of Salem said that if she ever showed her face in Salem again they would hang her.

           Abigail was so much of a coward that she couldn’t even face the last few people she murdered. She used a rouse to get a ride on people’s buggies. When they didn’t let her let on she did one of two things. One she would sneak on somehow, or murder who ever forbid her to ride with them. So her craziness never left her, it very much followed her. When she finally arrived she had murdered 6 people that didn’t allow her to ride with them. The sixth person was quite an experience. At first she hid in the back of the buggy so she was not seen, but all he had to do was look behind him and see her, which he did. When found out she was caught she jumped off and grabbed the buggy, to grab a huge rock, which she bashed the passengers head in. Then the buggy was all her own.

              Once she got to New York, she had absolutely nothing to her name, except for the clothes on her back. So therefore she had to do something to survive. And being the beautiful girl she was, used her beauty to her advantage and became a prostitute. She did that for quite a while. Sometimes she even got an urge to kill, because by this time she could be classified as serial killer. So after sleeping with a man, sometimes she killed them. It’s ok though because they deserved it, sometimes they didn’t pay her enough, sp then its okay to murder a person, right? Wrong, there should really and truly be an alright time to take another person’s life. She met a man, and he fell in love her, and then they were married.

                      His name was Henry, Henry Beckett. She didn’t really love him, just his money. He was very, very wealthy. Henry was a great deal older then Abigail, but he was still considered handsome. His hair was gray he always wore the nicest clothes money could buy; he was a rather important person in New York. Abigail got everything and anything she ever wanted. She lived a charmed life, she had beautiful clothes, had some of the finest food. Abigail spent the majority of her days lounging around Henrys gorgeous mansion. It really truly was beautiful. The outside had a garden with dozens of flowers, all different types. There was a huge gate in front of the house. Inside there was eight chandelier’s through out the house. It had 10 bedrooms, 2 dinning rooms, and 5 bathrooms.  The bigger dinning room was full size and could fit 15 people, the other one was a little smaller, it could only fit 10 people. Each bedroom had silk curtains and a king size bed. The bathrooms had marble floors in each one. He had maid service and a cooking staff to wait on the couples hand and foot.

                         Abigail turned out alright, she had some rough times, but everything tuned out okay. But the fact is that urge was creeping up and she tried to fight the urge to kill, so you have to give her some credit for trying to fight it. That only lasted so long; she ended up giving into her urge. In the end she murdered her husband. She was caught by the authorities and hanged; finally that was the end of Abigail Williams.
