This sort of accident happens with wood chippers all the time. And I gotta say, better head first than feet first.
–A random Wood Chipper expert

Immurement

The hero of the Bottom-Left Bracket (TM), Immurement, bustin’ out of the gate at a modest lope, like a turtle about to take down a hare.

I had scarcely laid the first tier of my masonry when I discovered that the intoxication of Fortunato had in a great measure worn off. The earliest indication I had of this was a low moaning cry from the depth of the recess. It was NOT the cry of a drunken man. There was then a long and obstinate silence. I laid the second tier, and the third, and the fourth; and then I heard the furious vibrations of the chain. The noise lasted for several minutes, during which, that I might hearken to it with the more satisfaction, I ceased my labours and sat down upon the bones. When at last the clanking subsided , I resumed the trowel, and finished without interruption the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh tier. The wall was now nearly upon a level with my breast. I again paused, and holding the flambeaux over the mason-work, threw a few feeble rays upon the figure within.

That’s it. Hype time is over. It is time to do your civic doody and vote. It is your solemn task. One competitor must put up and one must shut up. One must fall and it’s a long way down.
