Author's Note: I found this story while skimming through my Documents on my computer. I wrote this a couple of years ago for a friend for an art project. The request was for me to come up with a very basic, bare-bones story that could be turned into about a six-page comic book.  Looking at it again after all this time, I realize it wasn't half bad ( Read more... )

Sanctity, Colorado, nestled in the foothills of the Black Mountains, is a quiet town that is slowly dying since federal regulations shut down the lumber mills around which it was built.
