The corpus deliciti, that is to say the body of Rube Snarlesby, showed by its erratic splatter pattern that he had been waltzing all a-go-go when the stiletto had pierced his breast; such corybantic movement at his last moment being quite ironic when one considers that it was the fallow state of his fidelity that prompted his fate.

The locals point it out as the corpus delicti for an ancient legend in which mighty gods fought and one was slain with a huge round rock (most likely an erratic left when a glacier melted at the end of the last Ice Age), colored red by its victim’s blood, it lies in a field always left fallow by those who farm nearby, and could have easily been forgotten if not for the entrepreneurial pub owner who promoted the area, all a-go-go with his coach tours for birders, brochures for self-guided history walks, and self-published mythology books.
