The Last Hurrah

My name is John Martin and I kill Werewolves.

Heh! Now that's some funny shit there! "I kill Werewolves.” If'n I ever said that too loud I reckon they'd lock me up faster than a hound after coon. But...It's true.... By God it's true. I done been all over this country and fer' three years I done been killin' things that we only thought was in them movies. That Barker fella aint never make no movie as bad as the real thing stalkin' us in the night...

Out in the middle of nowhere and in the biggest darn cities the Monsters wait...Only thing is I'm out in the world too! Killing dem bastards for each one of mine they done got. It aint' only the wolves too. I done seen all manner of critter livin' side by side with us. I don't like thinkin' about it, makes me dizzy, I think all this is drivin' me plum loco.

Look at the Moon...She's all big and full...Hunter's Moon my daddy use to call it. How right you are Daddy. I really shouldn't be jottin' all this mess down in this book but I feel I have to. I'm a dead man you see...well

I've been dead some time now. I died the day that wolf, THE Wolf, killed my whole family. Hunts-The-Spiral they done named him.

That one done got my soul. I only live to see that devil die, slaughtered like he done did my kin. I used myself up trying to make it all even tween him and me. Done did things no God fearing man should do.... But I don't fear God no more.... may he forgive me, but he won’t.

Many like me out in the world, even the church. None hate the devils as much as them fellas from that company, Pentex. That man from Pentex, he is just as bad as them, with his silk words and all that sweet talk...I'm from the mountains and we folk know how to spot the Devil...I see him each time I look in the mirror. I done killed more monsters than I can count but I never get that damn Hunts. I will this time. I have to, I'm dying.

Some kind of cancer they say.... bullshit! I'm dying because I can't live like this anymore. I'm not a man I'm one half of DEATH and Hunts is the other half.

This is my last full Moon. When we come together death will be whole and no way in the world can you conjure death and not pay the Reaper his due. I will kill that damn demon and when I'm done...I'm gonna kill the other one...

Me.
