601: BAD MAN FROM BODIE, A Vampire Western. AI-Generated.
In the waning years of the 18th century, amidst the darkened forests of Colonial Massachusetts, where signs of witchcraft stirred fear in the hearts of many, a coven of necromancers delved into the forbidden arts. This coven of witches, condemned and feared for these dark arts, stood united in their final act before the flames of persecution could claim them. Their unholy rituals, conducted under the cloak of night, reached beyond the veil to summon a creature of unspeakable malice from its slumber in the abyss. Killion emerged, a demon of insidious power, conjured from nightmarish depths to walk the earth. As Killion grew in strength and malice, he found amusement in the frailties of his creators. Within weeks of his existence, he began whispers of treachery, he sewed seeds of paranoia among the witches, convincing each that betrayal was imminent from their sisters in the dark arts. With paranoia fueling their actions, the witches turned against one another in a spiral of madness and bloodshed until only one remained—a sole practitioner of the macabre communion they had once shared. This survivor, alongside Killion, ventured west across the plains, where they chanced upon a tragic figure: a woman, pregnant and forsaken, left to the mercy of the elements in a desolate wagon.
