"Run!," said Paw as he ran and grabbed Mama. Paw didn't grab me cause he knew I can run fast, maybe even faster than him. I saw the flames crashing down from the roof and knew I had to pick up speed. I saw the horses burnt alive but Shima, the fastest horse in this farm made it out alive. I called him,
"SHIMA!," He ran towards me and got as far away as possible.
"Alright, John, Me, Mary, and Shima. We..... all safe, yes?," That's what I love 'bout Paw, his rough voice, his bright boots, and his nice temper. He's never a pain but he's been doing some "stuff" as he calls it.
"Yeah we all safe Paw," I replied. He looked at the farm, well, what was left of it. I saw horses and cows running out, burning and dying cause of some meddling folks around here called "Government" They are probably what Paw calls "stuff" but not just that too. He's been go around looking at the ladies headin' back home you know doin' there so called "work" It's like Paw forgot about Mama and felt revived or somethin'.
Well anyway, we haven't been payin' the stupid taxes and they decided to kill some fresh horses and cows by burin' down our harmless farm. Paw started to cry. I have never in my 13 years of livin' have seen Paw cry with such pain. I felt I needed to punch something. They made my Paw cry. I ran and stood on Shima saying to Paw and Mama,
"I won't be back until we get our farm back, we will destroy these medellin' fools!" Paw and Mama started at me with such trust and proudness. Paw stopped cryin' and looked straight into my dark brown eyes. It was a message that said "Good Luck Son" and smiled. I rode off headin' straight towards town. I knew Paw and Mama were headin' towards Grandma's House to stay for now.
It's now 1909 and I'm 22 and I was ready. I've been trainin' ever since the day I rode off. I've visited my parents and they seem to be back together as I saw what Paw does to those ladies. I found my a woman myself and we got married and have a child already. I feel great, but still wantin' that revenge. Shima is old as Paw and he can't even move. We made room for him in the house and he just sits there dying slowly. I found a new fresh horse who's way more faster than Shima, before. I have what every brave man in Texas has, a brand new Carbine Rifle. I have many more weapons and even explosives and a whole gang ready to attack.
"Boss, I think it's time already we already wasted two years." One of my solders say. Even though they are older than me, they are still stupid and dumb. He was right though, it was time to attack. I kissed my wife and child and told them to pray for me and that I will make it. We headed towards the Town Hall where this madness of taxes stop. When we aprroached we saw the whole government outside blocking the entrance with rifles, snipers, and even sentrys. I took cover as my men where getting torn apart.
They were my distraction and I ran in. The sniper found and tried takin' me out but my guys took him out. I ran in placing dynamites and explosives all around. Some of my guys followed me and helped me. They had my back. I found the guy who takes this all over. Holding a shotgun behind his desk.
"YOU BETTER LEAVE NOW OR I WILL KILL YOU! AND YOUR FAMILY!" He screamed.
" HOW 'BOUT WE FIGHT LIKE MEN AND DROP OUR WEAPONS?!" I said.
"FINE! LETS DO THIS!" He lunged at me. I uppercut him and he fell hard as he could. I felt the blood on my fist as I heard the war outside. He got back up tryin' swing a hook but I dodge it with anger. I thought 'bout my child, my wife, Paw, Mama, and Shima. I jabbed the fool in the throat as he held his throat. He couldn't breathe but he got his breath back. I ordered,
"TAKE THE WHOLE TAX PLAN DOWN OR YOU WILL GO DOWN WITH IT! YOU BIG FOOL!"
"It..... was an........ accident. We thought......... you were Johnny Jenkins, that........ fool and his gang...... at that farm," he explained.
"You burned down my FARM! And, now you think your excuse is gonna' get you out of this!?"
"Please we thought Johnny Jenkins were hiding in your farm."
"But still, you didn't do anything to help us or even give us anything instead, YOU SIT ON YOUR LEATHER CHAIRS TAKIN' MONEY FROM OTHER PEOPLE YOU FOOL!"
"Kay' I'll help you...... Get your farm back..... Just leave us alone," I spat on that fools face feelin' that it's not true. I grabbed him and threw him to the wall. I brought him outside where the Law was all dead. Some of my men died but they died bravely. I saw them rebuilding the farm with THEIR MONEY. I decided that I wouldn't get my money back from the taxes. Instead I let town folks get their money back or whoever paid the taxes.
I went to go bring Paw and Mama back home. I be headin' back to the mountains where Mame lived up the mountains. I saw the door opened and my heart dropped. I looked inside seein' blood on the wall. There I saw Paw and Mama......dead. They were shot. I took my gun, threw across the house runnin' to Paw and Mama. I hugged my Paw with blood all over his body. That fool, he's been in my life ever since I was born. I knew who did this. I knew what they did. And they know what I'm gonna' do.
The Govenment is goin' down, if not then with me.
