(An unknown cryptid fucking slaughters two no account horse thieves, but Sheriff Emiko had best start watching her back from here on out, or else she just might fall victim to it sooner, rather than later!)

"Please sirs, don't take our horses! We're too old to make it back to town like this."

The old man began crying while also pleading on behalf of his elderly wife as well, because surely these cowardly outlaws still had a goddamn heart after all, and would leave one horse for the poor gentleman's significant other, but Wesley Bradford and Tyrone Jenkins had other plans instead, so after forcing the unfortunate couple off their average sized horses, they wasted no time in mounting the somewhat nervous animals, before riding off and leaving both citizens completely defenseless, basically sentencing them to death because no one would be able to get very far on foot, because this vast territory was extremely dangerous even in the best of times, let alone the worst and so with that in mind, the old couple said their prayers and simply began hoping for the best, as they started slowly walking back to Jackson Hole, which was still a good five miles away right now, but it may as well have been five hundred fucking miles because one thing was for sure, mister Cooper and his beloved wife Gertrude would not be staying alive much longer, but neither would the white outlaw and his black counterpart, as they rode down a dusty trail located very close by a large, tall boulder which provided the perfect ambush spot for both man and beast, but this was the deadly creature's domain and these intruders would pay dearly for their soon to be fatal mistake!

"Goddamn it Wes, you hear that? Everything just went quiet all of a sudden, and I don't like this one single bit!"

Tyrone gulped then looked at his best friend and partner in crime, who slowly nodded and agreed that yes indeed, this was mighty goddamn strange but it always meant that a predator was nearby, but surely they could outrun whatever this animal was with their brand new horses, yet before these gutless riffraff made it past the enormous boulder, a huge beast suddenly jumped from the top of it and knocked Wesley off his stolen horse, crushing the man with six hundred pounds of solid muscle and sheer bulk, literally breaking him in half after trouncing Wes against the cold, hard ground while Tyrone looked on in utter disbelief!

"Goddamn it man! What the fuck!"

The black beast was nine feet long from head to tail, standing five feet tall on all fours while its massive frame made short work of Wesley, easily decapitating him with those long, sharp teeth but to make matters even worse, much like the supposedly extinct sabre toothed cat, the intimidating creature also possessed two longer front teeth as well, but these were extremely tough and could break through bone with very little effort whatsoever, yet before the screaming man could even clear leather and shoot the giant, panther like monstrosity, his horse suddenly buckled and sent him crashing to the fucking ground, where the black death began eating Tyrone alive, while disemboweling the dying man as intestines and other internal organ began spilling out from a cruelly gutted stomach, before turning its attention back to Wesley and severing arms and legs from the dead outlaw's already mutilated body! The unknown creature was also intelligent enough to rip and separate their clothes from raw, delicious human flesh as it continued devouring two unlucky horse thieves, swallowing everything including bones which were pulverized by its powerful jaws and savage teeth, leaving very little behind except for blood and shredded clothing, along with a few pieces of guts and other small body parts as well, but for the most part almost nothing remained of these tall, rather large men who had meet their grisly end courtesy of this mysterious creature!

Sheriff Emiko was taking her sweet ass time in tracking down these worthless horse thieves, because she hoped that something truly bad had already happened to these utterly repulsive pieces of shit, especially after coming across what remained of those poor elderly people, who had sadly and tragically been ruthlessly butchered by yet another vicious monster, yet Emiko still had a job to do and would return for the dead man and woman later, having already securely covered their corpses after finding a nearby tarp, but before she could reach that large boulder her horse began to panic, so the brave young female wasted no time in removing her .45-70 repeating rifle from its scabbard, and after calming the animal back down she then knew what happened to Wesley and Tyrone, which meant her work her was now done and Emiko didn't even bother dismounting to take a closer look, because almost nothing was left of these dead motherfuckers, which most definitely suited her just fine, so she began riding back to town before something told her to quickly turn around in the saddle, and when she did there it was! The blood and gore covered monster was looking down at her from the forty foot tall boulder, but Emiko kept that loaded rifle very close by her side, and she also had a 12 gauge, double barrel shotgun along with her .45 single action revolver, as the lethal cryptid continued glaring at the courageous sheriff from around one hundred yards away, before finally letting out an ungodly scream which sounded like a cross between a mountain lion and tiger, no doubt scaring the shit out of both Emiko and her frightened horse, yet the beast was now full and had simply warned this human to never come back here again, or else! It then slowly turned away and bounded back into a nearby cave, while Emiko picked up the pace and soon enough she found those two stolen horses, and they had absolutely no problem following her back to town, where she put them inside a stable before taking the slain couple's remains to the undertaker's office, having found the tarp and respectfully placing it across the old man's horse, making sure to tie it down while also keeping a close eye out for anymore of those hideous monsters out there. This had been a productive yet also sad day for Emiko, because while she could have cared less about what happened to Tyrone and Wesley, mister Cooper and miss Gertrude would be dearly missed by all, but such was life in this cruel and unforgiving territory, and much worse was still yet to come for many an unsuspecting man, woman, even child in the not too distant future!
