      A Shadow in Time - Lisa Anderson

      Chapter 1

      ––––––––

      The year was 1980, the cell was ready, the drugs prepared, all the inmates on death row locked down, the standard routine, and just another execution. Why the fear, why the terror coursing through the warden? The Shadow, that’s why. His name was Colin Mathews, a giant of a man. Convicted of twenty-four murders, women all marked with the same symbol ... sacrifices he said.

      The religious right had their rumors, a creation of Satan, he was. Sent to create hell on earth, bring the destruction of God, they claimed. The prison was on full lockdown; everyone was in their cells. Even those that had jobs within the prison were locked down.

      The guards went to the cell, fear running through them. Always had to have extra guards when moving the monster. There he sat, blood running down his arms from the ritual style cuts on his arms, his symbol carved into the floor, filled with the blood that ran free. Seven and a half feet tall, hair black as night hanging to his waist, solid muscle, eyes that could have been dolls eyes, soulless, eyes of the dead. Cuffs and ankle restraints put on, no resistance.

      The long walk, Shadow muttering under his breath, taken to the modified gurney, straps are tight. The IV needle put in his arm, the bastard gets the drugs straight no saline dilution. An empty bag to prevent air from getting in. Any last words, Mr. Mathews? the warden asked formally, he was required to by the law.

      "You shall all fall before me. Nesa visat chola." Shadow said and laughed that sick demonic laugh that he was known for.

      The priest began the ritual prayers, the drugs injected. Blood began to run up the tubing, filling the empty bag. A dark substance began to run down the pages of the bible, blood. The priest looked up; Shadow was smiling his filed teeth showing. Horrified at what it meant, the priest dropped the bible and ran for the door.
