Being The Inspector In Waknuk

Improved Essays
In all of my 10 years of being the Inspector in Waknuk, I thought I have seen all forms of deviations and offenses. However, today’s discovery proved that the Devil is still creating new and vile creatures to try and steer mankind from the true image of God.

It started off when Mr. James reported that a Deviant had somehow managed to enter his barn the night before but he was able to capture it. I quickly got dressed and rode on over to his farm on the outskirts of town. When I arrived at his front steps, I was greeted by Mrs. James who escorted me to the back of the house where a lump of body lay on the ground with its hands tied behind its back. A couple of feet away stood Mr. James with his gun aimed at the thing that lay on the ground.
