Eyewitness accounts of the events which unfolded on a hot clear day at the croquet resort have been pieced together. This much we know.
After quickly becoming poison, Sticky Wicket went on a killing spree. He coldly and methodically murdered his opponents. Sometimes sniping at them from afar. Sometimes up close and very personal. With only two opponents left, Sticky sighted in on Mallethead who had seen the horror and was trying to hide behind and next to the right middle wicket stake. Sticky cocked his weapon and fired a shot striking Mallethead and continuing through the wicket experiencing death with no dignity.
Emerging from the shadows, the last player alive stepped forward to claim victory. That player, Leftie, flush with his good fortune, went on to win the second game.
Given the dramatic ending to the first game, the POD goes to Sticky Wicket who hubris resulted in his fall from grace and ignominious demise.
