In 1914, Johann Whynack was married to the love of his life. He would put up with nearly anything; endure almost anything, for his Marie. But Marie didn’t care, and continually spurned his affections. As much as he loved her, every person has their breaking point, and in a split second, Johann brought the issue to a sudden and bloody conclusion.
