In June of 1981, Sheriff Thorn Lang's tenure reached its sixth month. The Sheriff's exercise his will over the county, expanding both his power as sheriff and his operations on the other side of the thin blue line. But all is not smooth. An inquiry by the state police into the death of his father caught the attention of one Leonard Slye, an investigator in Arizona CID. Len's incessant questioning of residence of the city of Spiny threatens to pierce the veil of respectability of Lang. Whatever is driving Slye, greed, a serious dedication to Law and Order, or perhaps demons of his own soul, must be brought to light, if Thornton Lang is to defeat his newfound enemy. Then again, Lang might just destroy the man outright, why fuck around with deceit when you can just demolish the bastard.

One more try. Sorry, I found a ton of little things wrong with my editing as I read through the first Episode of The Sheriff of Spiny Cactus County last night. Therefore, I re-posted the corrected version. To answer a question from another site, that some people may be asking here as well, a spiny cactus is another name of the prickly pear. The prickly pear cactus is also known as Heart of Arizona when the leaf is in the shape of a heart.
An unfortunate side-effect of re-posting the story is it lost the title a the top of the first page. Oh well!

Recently, I started looking up the mythos of Native American Tribes. I have always been fascinated with story of horror, those concerning the supernatural have always been my favorite. I don't know that I was looking for a new story when started my research.
With that said, for quite some time, I've been thinking of writing a villain as a protagonist. A rotten scoundrel, who's soul is filled with vile wickedness, who doesn't view himself as bad.
Last week, I returned to a bookmark from my readings and again read about Skinwalker. A being so vile, the Navajo will not talk of them. They don't even say the name, either in English or Navajo fearing they would be cursed for the utterance.
How can you not love something evil that just speaking its name is a curse all by itself? As this story unfolds the, 'Present Day' portions are chronological, while the flashbacks may end up all over the place. The first and second parts (Episodes) are mostly flashback. After that, the flashbacks are secondary to the here and now.
Special note: There is no County named Spiny Cactus in Arizona.
Enjoy: The Sheriff of Spiny Cactus County

I made a few, minor changes, formatting being one, and took out the song lyrics so that Gracey Slick doesn't come after my black butt! I also found and fixed a couple of typos.
If you haven't read it yet, this one isn't my normal type of story. A little softer, still I hope erotic and sexy, or is that the same thing?
