Great continuation. I love the gritty feel of it, like I need to kick some sand out of my shoes before going to the next story.

as THX mentioned, this has a great gritty feel, and reminded me of all the great spegetti westerns that used to come on after church on Sunday afternoons. You definately captured the banter, and had a good cliffhanger ending. I know it’s rare for THX to hand out pencils, but I am surprised he didn’t give out any on this.

I’ve been playing some Red Dead Redemption pretty obsessively. I’m always amazed that the comrades of a captured bounty come storming across the Southwest at full gallop so they can rescue the captive. Dedication. See also: Stupidity. Rescuing your friend isn’t always best accomplished by firing wildly at the horse he’s strapped to.
