Crazy Eyes died!!!
And Chief DamagedGoods too!!!
Against the Television screen
My popcorn I threw.
Then I heard the voice over say – In case it's been awhile since you've joined...
The Sheriff has taken the law into his own hand when he killed Junkyard Jimmy one of the Spent Shell's Band. Doc Vale has his suspicions but kept to himself as he has his own ambitions.
Lean was lead to the cure but did not trust who lead her there for sure. O'Henry Watchamacallit wanted too high a price. Racin' horses was his vice. SixStar was the prize he wanted. She left him in the desert a decision for which she may feel haunted.
Three Gun went looking for some answers and knew one source he could tap. He held her by gunpoint and searched her pack. Thinkin' he'd done a good job when he found a wanted poster of the Sheriff who's really Carob Bob.
CrazyGoose told him what she thinks, slipping Whoppers in his drink. It would take him a while to get loose from the knots he found he was tied in by CrazyGoose.
Crazy Eye Charlie laid in his bed, wonderin' if anyone cared if he were dead. Time was ticking and movin' fast, he thought this world was too good last.
Lean came back threaten the Doc, thinkin' he was Spent Shell. The Doc denied and said she had bigger problems, her brother was far from well. She found he was gone when she looked in his bed, She had to stop him from meetin' the sheriff or he'd have a bullet lodged in his head.
Three Gun was havin' trouble keepin' track. His head feelin' out of whack. He had no idea what was happenin' to his town, and soon felt himself goin' down.
Ruechari came back to her father's friend only to find out she was double crossed in the end. Carob Bob just handed her over to Crazy Eyes to her surprise. Looking out for his own neck, makin' her think, "What the heck!"
Crazy Eyes Charlie was to take her and leave, when he was brought down to his knees. Thrown over a horse to save his hide with Ruechari he'd take a ride.
Ruechari wanted to settle a score and came back to Sheriff once more. Holdin' a gun to his head, but he knew she wouldn't shoot him dead. Instead some interesting news he had, turns out Chief Damaged Goods is not her Dad. Then she let him get away, knowing she'd see him again another day.
With Crazy Eyes about to die, Ruechari needed a faster ride. She seen the horse Highride Ali uses and leaving Lean to wonder "What the duce is?" She took the horse, it was perforce, to get him to the cure of course.
Three Gun got a helping hand from someone he certainly did not plan. CrazyGoose came to his aid and by his side she stayed. Suddenly wonder what it could mean, seeing the look of poor Lean. Whispered words, could be heard and then all hell broke loose.
Doc Vale is plotting to take the town, his first target Three Gun must go down. Hired a stranger to do the job, none to stop him not even Sheriff Carob Bob.
Lean was torn between her brother and helping another. Three Gun was in trouble she felt in her gut. Ruechari understood. There were many here up to no good. But she had a brother to save.
Crazy Eye Charlie was losin the fight. Startin to see things that were just not right.
Then a darkness over Busted Gulch fell, when a stranger came a tale to tell. He bears the town ill will, lookin to send all to boot hill. Only one stands to ruin his fun, his name be Three Gun. He seems to be a real Creeper... but you can call him the Reaper.
Ruechari the Chief she found, nearly dead on the ground, he had some words to expound. What they were we do not know, but it was his time to go. Gone forever he would be, much to the sadness of Ruechari.
One more lost to this tale, Crazy Eyes died, the end of the trail.
Who knew? Ruechari would be left to bury not one but two.
Stay tuned there is more to come. A change in how the west is won.
We want you to join the fun.
Make sure your eyes say fused, so you don't end up confused.
