TRANSCRIPT
Sheriff Stokes gripped the wheel in his patrol car at the only red light in the small town. On any other night he would ignore the red light and just continue his ten mile per hour pace down Old State Road. But this wasn’t any other night. And he was only on his first cup of coffee for the night.
As the light turned green he pulled forward slowly, looking from one side of the road to the other, searching for the flicker of candles in the windows of every house.
No one would be taken.
Not on his watch.
