Chayton: Evil Rolls West

Evil men and evil deeds have been around since the beginning of time. All humans regard those individuals who commit these heinous crimes as monsters regardless of their race or culture. As our Nation progressed westward these demons saw the opportunity to travel west hidden under a cloak of deceit. This is the story of one monster moving from the East into Indian Territory leaving brutalized children and grieving parents in his wake.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “Civilized” as: “characteristic of a state of civilization ; especially: characterized by taste, refinement, or restraint.” But whose civilization, taste, refinement, or restraint do we accept or reject? At different times in American history we have rejected other civilizations and their culture later to say maybe we went too far and we need to reevaluate.

Chayton’s moral compass forged by two civilizations took the best of both and fought evil when it surfaced without regard to its taste, refinement, or restraint and without regard to his own life. He did what was right. He was committed to give these child victims justice.
