I just found this funny video on the Youtube, and got inspired to create some story on it.

My stories tend to be a bit dramatic and heavy, so this time I tried my best to remain funny and lightheaded.
Chapter 1: A Light-hearted Pyre
The sun, reluctant to shine too brightly that morning, cast muted beams upon the colonial town of Arkham, situated in the obscure corners of New England. It was the kind of place where shadows clung to every alleyway, and whispered tales of the unknown lurked behind every closed door. Today, in the town square, a spectacle was unfolding. A crowd had gathered, some jeering, some visibly uncomfortable. Among them was the executioner, a tall, shadowy figure in a hooded cloak.
In the center of the gathered mob was Jill, a woman known for her infectious laughter, her vivacious spirit, and her uncanny ability to make a gloomy day bright. Her raven-black hair fell in cascades around her shoulders, and her eyes, green as the depths of the forest, sparkled with mischief even in this dire situation. Bound to a stake with thick ropes, she was as naked as the day she was born. To some, it would be a scene of utmost humiliation, but not for Jill. She treated the occasion with her characteristic cheekiness.
As the whispers and murmurs of the crowd reached a crescendo, Jill's gaze met the executioner's. "Hey handsome," she called out, her voice dripping with flirtation, "you're about to see a naked witch burn, in all her pretty female parts. Lucky you!"
A murmur of scandalized gasps and nervous chuckles spread through the crowd. The mayor, a stout man with beady eyes, quickly reprimanded, "Silence! This is a solemn occasion!"
But Jill wasn't done. "Solemn? Come on, Mr. Mayor. Lighten up a little. I mean, isn't this your idea of a heated party?"
The mayor, unamused, turned away. But Jill's attention was back on the executioner, who hesitated before lifting his hood, revealing a surprisingly young face with sharp, chiseled features. Their eyes locked, and there was an undeniable chemistry. He responded, "I've seen many things, Miss Jill. But you're... different." He smirked, "Your pussy, in particular: mind you, all that pubic hair will catch fire soon!"
Jill grinned unabashedly, "You've got a silver tongue under that scary hood! Once this is all over, wanna grab a drink? I mean, if I'm still in a solid form."
He chuckled, the sound incongruous with his grim attire. "I might just take you up on that. Though I've never dated a ghost before."
From the sidelines, Mrs. Prewitt, the local baker and known gossip, nudged her friend, "I never imagined an execution could turn into... this."
Her friend, Mrs. Tildon, whispered back, "Only Jill could turn her own burning into a flirt-fest."
Suddenly, a solemn voice cut through the chatter. It was Reverend Hale, a gaunt man with an ever-serious demeanor. "Jill," he began, "even in these final moments, we offer you a mercy. A swift strangulation before the flames take you. It's a... more dignified end."
Jill contemplated the offer, a playful glint in her eye. "It would be quite a ribald way to go out, tongue hanging out and all. But," she shrugged, "where's the fun in that? I've always been a bit of a show-off."
The reverend sighed, resigned. "Very well. We shall proceed as planned."
As the final preparations were made, and the kindling was arranged at Jill's feet, she winked at the executioner. "Remember, after this, you owe me that drink."
He smiled, "I'll remember, Miss Jill."
The tension in the square grew, but as the chapter closed, the pyre remained unlit, the story still unfolding.
Chapter 2: An Unexpected Visitor
The town square was thick with tension, but a sudden hush descended as a new figure emerged from the crowd. Standing tall with a stern look was none other than Mr. Balkan, the revered witch-master of Arkham and the man whom Jill had both respected and had a secret crush on.
"Mr. Balkan!" she exclaimed, her voice a mix of surprise and playful embarrassment. "Fancy seeing you here!" She looked down at herself, all her nakedness exposed to the world, and added with a coy smile, "Though, I must admit, it's not the best circumstances for a reunion. How embarrassing! With all my bits on display!"
The onlookers, already in a state of restless anticipation, murmured amongst themselves. To see the esteemed Mr. Balkan, a man known for his power and aloofness, at an event like this was unexpected.
Mr. Balkan, ever the reserved and dignified figure, stepped forward, clearing a path through the crowd. The whispers grew louder, but his sharp gaze was fixed solely on Jill. "Jill," he began, his voice deep and commanding, "This is no laughing matter. You always did have a knack for getting into trouble, but this... this is something else. You'll die, burned alive! It's an extremely painful way to go, girl!"
Jill, forever the optimist, shrugged, her bubbly demeanor undeterred, "Well, when life gives you a stake, make... a bonfire?"
Mrs. Prewitt whispered to Mrs. Tildon, "Did she just make a pun about her own impending doom?"
Mrs. Tildon, wide-eyed, whispered back, "That she did. That woman has guts!"
Jill's attention was back on Mr. Balkan, "So, to what do I owe the pleasure of your company? Came to see your wayward student's grand finale?"
Mr. Balkan sighed, "You were always one of my most talented students, Jill. It pains me to see you like this." He then leaned in closer, lowering his voice, "I can help you escape. We can be gone from here before they even realize."
Jill blinked in surprise. "Escape? On your broomstick, I assume?" She giggled, "Imagine that, me, naked on a broomstick flying over Arkham! Now that would be a sight!"
Mr. Balkan, clearly frustrated, hissed, "This is serious, Jill! They're going to kill you!"
Jill looked into his eyes, her voice softening, "I know, Mr. Balkan. But sometimes, it's just easier to go with the flow. Especially for a free spirit like me. Besides," she added with a wink, "I'll make a very pretty bonfire."
The executioner, having overheard the conversation, interjected, "It's almost time, Miss Jill."
Jill nodded, "Well, it's been fun, but it seems my date with destiny is calling."
Mr. Balkan, with a pained expression, said, "I wish it hadn't come to this, Jill. You deserved so much more."
Jill smiled, "It's okay, Mr. Balkan. Every story has to end. This is just my... fiery finale." She paused, looking around at the eager faces in the crowd, and then back to Mr. Balkan, "Remember me, okay? Remember the bubbly witch who laughed in the face of danger."
Mr. Balkan nodded, tears visible in his eyes, "Always."
As the chapter drew to a close, the kindling at Jill's feet remained untouched, and the air was thick with anticipation, sorrow, and the undeniable spirit of a woman undeterred by fate.
