prologue
It was a dark, dreary day on the eastern plains. A thick layer of charcoal clouds blanketed the sky and emanated a dull electric light. The air softly ran its course over the yellowing plains, but was broken by brief breaths that raised the hair on the back of one's neck.
To the north lifeless trees gathered in covens waiting endlessly for the rain that would never come and converged into a thick evergreen wood. To the south small houses and ranches marked the monotony of the plains. To the west a post office and school could be seen, further on was an industrial city that besmirched the treacherous mountains behind. To the east was the vast expanse of grain that was irked by the exhaust of a black SUV, whose windows were pieces of the sky above.
The SUV slowly made its way to a house frozen on the prairie. The house itself was isolated from the world and was a simple modest farmhouse. As the SUV stopped at the driveway, one of the house's occupants spotted it and turned to the door. He would never make it as a bullet went right through his head. Inside the house, the remaining occupants scrambled to get weapons but as they unlocked the safe that contained them, the four men from the SUV poured in and shot them all. After the deed was done the men left and headed back east.
After the car had vanished from sight, a small boy exited the post office. As he made his way to the house, he couldn't help but feel as if something was out of place. The boy soon spotted the body outside the door and proceeded to run to the nearest neighbor.
At the neighbor's house he told them, what he had seen and soon fainted. The neighbors, being the good people they were, called the police. The police were thirty minutes away and told the neighbors to try to revive the boy. The boy was soon revived and made the decision to try to get back into the house. Understandably, the neighbors said no, but the boy escaped after the police had arrived.
The boy ran back to the house and opened the door. He broke down when he saw the extent of the killings and ran back to the police and told them what he had seen. The police investigated the scene and concluded that it had been the work of the serial killer known as Timothy. They took the boy into custody and found the nearest relatives.
As he was set on the plane, the boy vowed to avenge the deaths of his loved ones.
