CHAPTER ONE

He wasn't bothered by the chirp of the crickets, nor was he bothered by the smog that hung so thickly over the area. The cold seeped through his leather jacket and gloved pocketed hands to his body as much as his soul. An owl hooted. Bats fluttered by at low range as midnight's parade of creepiness settled over the cemetery.

Deadwood was a town with many claims to fame, one of which was its many cemeteries. Maybe that was a fallacious assumption. Maybe Deadwood didn't have that many cemeteries, but it was simply famous for its burial sites like Mount Moriah Cemetery.

Only the killer knew what it meant to see the life leave a person's eyes. The killer surely held the mystery, for only they, as messengers of death, knew it well enough.

At that stage in his life, it had become
