The Hobby

If Judge Duncan Travis had not taken early retirement, he would have probably never taken up the hobby that has transformed his life and helped lift him from a profound state of melancholy. His new vocation is more exciting than anything he has ever done before. He is a serial executioner, bringing justice to felons who managed to avoid it in the past.

It is unlikely that God will ask Duncan Travis to write an addition to the Old Testament. If he did, though, The Book of Duncan would most likely include these verses:

“The strong must protect the weak.”

“Good men must vanquish evil men. If a good man does not, some of the evil shall stain his own soul.”

“To kill an evil man is to save those upon whom the evil man would eventually wreak his havoc.”
