"declared to be a witch"

islands. But nowhere was safe. A pair of auks on the OrkneyIslands were stoned and shot in 1812. On the remote Scottish island of St Kilda a lone great auk was captured in1821, but, when its cries seemingly conjured up a storm,it was declared to be a witch and beaten to death. Maybe...

You'd think a witch who could call up a storm could avoid being beaten to death

I love how there's a dangling "Maybe" after "stoned to death." Intellectually, I know it's just the start of another sentence, but I really want it to just be it's own sentence, like, "maybe it was stoned to death, maybe it wasn't, maybe it ate all the villagers, who knows?!"
