The Midnight Man an introduction

By Malcholm Dark

  The year was 1959, in a small Texas town called Token; where a
roving motorcycle gang had arrived and taken over.  There wasn't
any law except their own, which they dealt out unmercifully to the
people of Token.  One man stood up to the gang and was viciously
beaten for his defiance.  Near death, this man was taken to the
edge of town where he was staked out upon a large oak tree.  The
wicked leader of the gang, Shadow Jack made the entire town watch
the crucifixion as a reminder that no one should ever cross him!
And as time passed, the township of Token said nothing.  For the
fear of reprisal was always in their thoughts.
  Seven years then passed for that small Texas town and once again
Shadow Jack and his gang rode in.  Yes, hell once more reigned in
Token and the terror committed there continued on for days!  The
townspeople prayed for deliverance.


And then...
One moon-lit night a stranger came riding in!
