static | coroner | hew

The coroner pulled up, weaved through the crowd and approached the officer on duty.

"Where's the body?"
"Up there."
"Seriously? Isn't that Xavier? He's just doing another public stunt."
"He's been standing static in that box on the pole for two weeks."
"I hate magicians. Call me back when you get him out...and only if he's dead."
"You don't understand. We've been hewing at that thing all morning, but it just keeps breaking everything we throw at it with no reaction from Xavier."
"Maybe this public stunt." He slips on his sunglasses, "Became a private affair."
