Prolog: Death has accidently left open a door in the land of the dead. Cain has slipped out unnoticed and is visiting earth Cain climbed up to the surface in cold dark new Mexican night. The rising from the sand gave snakes cold fright. Thick dark hair in long dark curls hanging down across his shirt. His face was grim and his manner curt.

They took two stools at the bar and calmly looked around The patrons of the bar smelled fear, no one made a sound |
