I watched Bell ride out from the station, she stopped at the beginning of the trail leading over the mountains, and looked back at me. I waved and she returned the gesture. She kicked her horse and continued up the mountain trail. I picked up Millie's still body and threw her over the saddle of her...

Bell still had the Winchester leveled at Ned, Jake stood with his hands raised; his pistol still in his hand. I was still hidden behind the stinking outhouse. I could see Jake smiling and I knew he was just waiting for a chance to shoot the rider from her horse. "What the hell are you doing here?!"...

"What makes you think I wanna to ride with you two assholes, anyway?" Bell yelled. "Well, why not come out here and I'll give ya my reasons, come on girl." Jake pressed. Bell sat back and looked back at me. She seemed to be waiting for me to make the decision. My mind was running through various...

It was the sound of horses in the front of the station that roused me from a slumber. Bell was still lying beside me, our naked bodies entwined. I raised my head and peered out the window. Two riders were dismounting in front of the water pump. Bell's horse was still tethered to the pump and one of...

Bell and I stood there looking at each other. The day was getting hotter and I could feel sweat running down my neck. I suspected Bell was sweating too; wearing leather pants on a day like this would make anyone sweat. "So what happens now Bell," I asked. She shrugged and kicked at the dirt, "You...

Charlotte, USA. Thirty-One
The morning sun climbed in the cloudless sky; scorching the grassland around the station. I had wandered over to the well, four or five times to pour water down my throat and soak my head. I checked on Barrel a couple of times, more out of boredom than concern, I knew Barrel could look after...

I woke with a start. Millie had gone and I was lying on the bed, with only my shirt on - my pants and underwear were hanging over the chair. I sat up and glanced at the clock on the wall, 3:10. I stood, pulled on my pants and strapped on my gun belt. I walked over to the window and looked down onto...

I caught up with Colbert; he was leaning against a hitching post sucking on tobacco. "So, that's the person you had a run in with in Laramie, huh?" he asked. I jumped down from the veranda and leaned next to him, "Yep, now she wants to fuck me then kill me." Colbert smiled, "You want back-up, Jess?"...

As I moved nearer, the silhouette moved a little back, the cigar still stuck between the teeth. Colbert stayed behind me, his hand on his gun. I stepped up on the veranda and waited. "It's been a long time, Jess," the voice said. I knew the voice, the stance, the smell from her perfumed body, I even...

It's been six months since Susan Clemens put a bullet into her cousin Cody. I've been living in Charlotte and deputy sheriff-ing all this time. Once a week Ty Clemens comes into town and myself, Ben Colbert and him, have a few drinks at Henry's. Even old smithy Cummings has joined us on ocassion....
