Stab and Close

In the year 2014, Noelle, a Mellophonist, went around asking the members of Bingham, Davis and American Forks' Marching bands how they would kill someone with their own instruments.  She then wrote a short story embodying many of those answers and gave it to the band for Halloween as they went on tour to St. George.

For all those who had known Noelle, save for a few of her closest friends who had read other things she had written, this sudden, rather disturbing dark streak was a huge shock.  According to his roommate, when Mr. Graber procured a copy and read the first page, he shook his head for a moment repeating, "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear..." over and over again. The story also succeeded in terrifying the color guard and managed to turn the phrase 'Don't forget to stab and close' into a murder threat.
