The next Eposide's first draft is completed. It needs a mild rewrite and a lot of read-throughs and corrections before I post it. It does, however, introduce a new character. The protagonist, of our tale, is the villain, and what story doesn't need a good hero if you have a villain? So, our hero, our main antagonist, is introduced into the story in Episode Three.
Christian Blackheart is a flawed hero at best. However, he is, in some ways, equal to Sheriff Thornton Lang. His origins are, somewhat, of a mystery. Though he does give you a clue, here and there. He is also quite old, though he doesn't look it old. And when I say old, I do mean old.
With a vast intellect, Reverend Blackheart has battled villains for decades, more than decades. He has more than a passing acquaintance with the supernatural. And just as the Sheriff has employees and followers, so does Blackheart.
Blackheart is blessed with an immunity to the mental manipulations that have allowed Sheriff Lang to prosper. He's come to Spiny Cactus County to put an end to Skinwalker. Blackheart walks a thin line, weaver between good and evil, trying to atone for past sins in a life long ago and far away from the 1980s of Spiny, Arizona. His darker nature tugs him one direction while his better angle pushes the other.
Watch for the next Episode of Spiny Cactus County -SCARECROW- in the next few days.
If you haven't started the story, this is a good time to catch up with it so far, The Sheriff of Spiny Cactus County.
