noon
Medical men and women walked about and offered aid to those injured in the deranged mass orgy . Most were young girls and boys , killed by the frenetic desires of those who found it more to their pleasure to fornicate with the bodies of the dead ; after having experienced the added excitement of killing them ; with their fists or anything that they could find , to use as weapons . There were men and boys , dead or dying from excruciating pain , after having their genitalia bitten off by some nymphomaniac harlots and other erotopathic bitches -- some of who also died , choking while trying to swallow their prizes . In the final reports given to Brook at noon , eighty-eight citizens were dead . Forty-three were women -LRB- ranging in age from fifteen to forty -RRB- , twelve were men -LRB- mostly around fifty years of age -RRB- , and the rest were children -LRB- boys and girls , six to fourteen -RRB- . Brook was saddened and alarmed , for this rate of mortality was the highest seen in Phoride for almost three hundred years . He still waited for word to come to him , from Upper Phoride and he did n't want to think of the numbers there .
