Canon Story: The Adventure of the Copper Beeches
Title: The Piper
Author: vaysh
Words: 60
Rating: R (for violence)
Author's Notes: Darkly inspired by the line 'a child who may some day play a considerable part in the history of the country.'


Twenty years after the Whitechapel murders, another killer haunts the East End. Witnesses describe him of small build, dressed in a frock of electric blue. He kills with a hammer, a blow smack on the head of his victims, three so far, all with chestnut hair. The Piper, the press calls him, as vermin is said to follow his path.

Eeek!

Well, Rucastle said he was a child who "may some day play a considerable part in the history of the country".

He did so say, and I couldn't help make it even more ironic than the story itself suggests.
