Writing Challenge #3

It was a dank, ardent evening. The fog was somewhat superfluous, yet it was still a spooky night. The sign on the rusted fence read "no tresspassing - by the authority of the evil Count Austin Lehman." No one dared set foot in Count Lehman's land, especially on a night like this. But that didn't stop village idiot Josh Houston.

Josh didn't care about the warnings, or the stories about the disappearances associated with the Count. All he cared about was the Count's daughter, Sarah, whom he was madly in love with. Josh had taken Sarah to the valentines day ball earlier that year, and had been in love with her ever since.

On that dank night, the power of love drove Josh to enter the Count's land. He was too determined to see his one true love, sassy Sarah. But luck would not shine on the village idiot, for he was caught within seconds of entering the Count's property. Soon after, he was bullied and tortured at the Count's amusement, who laughed histerically. Josh cried out Sarah's name, but that just made the beating worse. The Count let him go the next day, and Josh never set foot near the Count again.
