Ghost Town - Part Three David B Doc Byron
As Lexxus approached the first few buildings, a vague but visible wave of ghostly heat seemed to rise up from 'the desert floor as he walked down the main street of a long dead town. Although having been here for days, he still wasnt used to the eerie silence that hung over the town like a shroud. Moonlight shone down on old rotten boards piled in the street, resembling a pile of dead bones in the moonlight. He saw a light up ahead getting closer now; he forced back a choking sensation in hius throat, swallowed hard. A mutant buzzard, now looking more like an oversized, featherless chicken, sat perhced upon a horserailing, glaring at him with egg shaped eyes. It's eyes seemed to glow like burning embers in the semi-darkness, like two unearthly beacons welcoming him to hell itself.
Lexxus stared it down for a moment; then closed his eyes as if in deep thought. His right rose up from his side, the index finger extending outward towards the buzzard. Within a few seconds, the creature began to shake, convulse, its eyes rolling back in it's head, as the bird exploded, sending chunks of raw, bloody meat into the air in a haze of death. Lexxus opened his eyes to see a tall shadow off to his right. The shadow of the darkman,mister dead, warrior of the wasteland.
The man rumored to have been dead 100 times over. But the rumors just drunken campfire tales, town gossip, or wishful thinking of the fearful at heart. He turned slowly to face his enemy; he was standing in the street outside the saloon, his arms dangling limply at his sides, the grips of his guns facing outward, ready for a quick draw. His eyes shined black in the moonlight from underneath bushy eyebrows, small black pearls set in a pool of crimson. He spoke, the tone in his voice low, gravely, a voice from the grave. ''Its time,'' he said.
''Yes,'' Lexxus said. ''I know.'' Thats when the ghosts came out.
