ON THE MURDER TRAIL (AN EXCERPT)
(Baltimore, Maryland)
... The day I am now suffering through is Halloween day.
I should be at home with my three kids, awaiting candy dreams.
My kids love to Trick-or-Treat... and Mallory loves to walk with them.
Our neighborhood is a pretty safe place, but bad forces push at our borders.
And so, as I work my job, my wife care for our kids.
And me... well, I am standing in the middle of another horror scene!
Oh yes... I was horrified by what I discovered!
'Oh my god,' I choked out these three words as I steeled myself again.
Here, In the bloody aftermath of still another bloody scene of carnage!
I didn't have time to be terrified at what I was witnessing!
It is weird that I never actually experience the emotion of terror,
During the actual investigation of the scene of brutality of the murders!
Someone out here in the murder fields,
Or something out here in the murder fields,
Must have wanted people like me,
I who would discover this slaughter,
To feel mortified like I am right now...
As I am viscerally queasy as I take all of this in!
What would be worse...
Experiencing being gripped by the terror that was unleashed here?
Or, experiencing the horror I am now battling back down my gall bladder!
All I know is there is a lot of blood here...
All over the once clean floor,
And all over these once scrubbed kitchen walls!
I don't think I will ever get over the visuals of this kind of crime scene.
Is it the particular smell of death that only comes out of a dead human being?
Is it the sight of a disemboweled human and the profaneness of that madness?
Is it the terror expression frozen on the face of the murdered?
Is it the numbing of my hands and feet as my blood drains from my head to my feet?
Or, is it the fact that here is another damned soul ripped away from life before their time!
I am even more disturbed by the fact that this killer forcibly enters homes.
The front door was actually smashed in from the outside, crushed by a strong force.
It looks like a tornado ripped its way inside this house and tore it apart.
But the death of the lone woman here was not caused by wind damage of any kind.
No, something with claws and teeth and evil murderous intent attacked this woman!
And... this hellish nightmare scene went down hours before the kids will hit the streets.

Obviously, I don't want to investigate still another one of these attacks,
These so called "vampire murders" that are now plaguing this dense city,
By the always searching-for-the-story press!
Vampire murders... no, more like savage werewolf evisceration!
And what do I do when I finally catch up to the perpetrator?
Am I in store for a terror showdown, or will the horror aftermath tell the final story?
Stay tuned!...
