Miner's Mountain

Just because a film is short doesn't mean it can't have a resolution. Sadly, this one doesn't, at least not a proper one. Twenty years ago, a rural deputy was called out by a woman who'd reported some strange goings on. Shortly she was murdered in horrific fashion, and suspicion appears to have fallen initially on our man.

Clearly that didn't last long, because he is now the local sheriff, but when two cold case detectives turn up at his office, he is back in the frame. And not just for that murder, another, similar one the previous night. So what is going on? That's all you need to know, except to say that he was probably cleared of involvement in the first murder because he wasn't the man who committed it. In fact, it wasn't committed by any kind of hu-man.
