The Deadly Judgment

The_Deadly_Judgment is a fanfiction story.
The people of Snowfall City had never faced a terror quite like this before. For weeks, the city had been plagued by a mysterious illness. The air was thick with fear and confusion as more people grew ill and even succumbed to death with no real explanation.
Things changed when an old woman came to town. Wearing a long, tattered cloak and leaning on a gnarled cane, she looked like something out of a fairy tale. She went from house to house, examining the sick and the dying, and declaring a judgement on each one. Those who had sinned in their lives were labeled beyond cure. Those who had lived a life of mercy and kindness were given hope of recovery.
The old woman had a gift—the power to see the invisible and weigh the heart of each person she examined. Rumor quickly spread of her power. Some were frightened of her gaze while others were emboldened by the thought that justice had come to Snowfall City.
Questions and uncertainty still lingered in the air, however. Was the old woman a messenger from God? Was she cursed, or blessed? How could she know such intimate details about each person?
The old woman's verdict had an unexpected consequence. Those she had labeled beyond cure recovered miraculously after her judgment. Likewise, those she had given hope of recovery never made it out of their beds. In the end, the old woman's final verdict was that the illness plaguing the city had been a divine punishment for the greedy and the unrighteous.
It was a dreadful lesson in justice, and the people of Snowfall City vowed never to forget it. From then on, the old woman became known as “The Deadly Judgment”, a testament to her power and a reminder of the consequences of sin.
