Stanley was in a bit of awe and confusion, not because of the mayor or his brother, but rather everything around them. He couldn't tell what he was looking at.
There were large metal objects all around the mayor, all of which had parts on it that glowed. Were those words on them?
One of them had a moving red line, that continuously jumped up and down, making an exaggerated sound of a heartbeat as it did so.
The glowing parts on the metal flickered from time to time, as lights flashed from it. There was some sound coming from the other metal contraptions, but they were mostly incoherent.
The old bearded man took away Stanley's attention as he placed a bloody knife on the metal tray next to him, the metals clinking together. The rusty smell of the blood was finally making up to Stanley now that he wasn't standing in the rain anymore.
The mayor tore away his brother's clothes, revealing broken limbs that look painful even from such a distance away.
