In my town of Salem, Massachusetts a bunch of little girls wanting revenge on the world have been parading around accusing everyone of witchcraft. No one has come to accuse my family or me but surely in time they will come. Half the town has already been called out by those vicious girls. My own servant girl is involved in this, and I have forbidden her to return back to town. I hope the distance of my farm house and the town should be far enough to keep it all away from my family. I worry especially for my wife, because of the girl who I believe started all the accusing. Abigail is her name, and I have my own secrets with her that puts my wife in danger. I care less for myself than what could happen to the ones I love. Sometimes at night, I don’t sleep well. I stay awake imaging the sounds of the madmen coming to destroy my home with my family and myself inside. I regret what happened between the two of us, I love Elizabeth more than I even lusted for Abigail. If anyone were to be accused of witchcraft, it should be her, for there is no other reason than human weakness for what had happened.
