A Twist of Fate

3Gun made his climb

Reached the mouth of the cave

He flattened himself

Against the rock face

The ground beneath his foot gave


The falling stones

Made a heck of a noise

As he fell

His rifle slipped away

And he heard a shouting voice


He rolled beneath a shallow shelf

As the bullet chipped the stone

Pulling out his gun

He fired

And heard the shooter groan


The footing was bad

But he managed to scramble

When another man

Appeared in the opening

He lunged, on a prayer and a gamble


They rolled on the cave floor

To gain the upper hand

Gunfire echoed off the walls

Nothing was going

The way 3Gun had planned


He heard footsteps running

And he rolled to the wall

Pulled his second gun and fired

Heard the runner

Cry out and fall


The man he was fighting

Tried to reload his gun

3Gun jumped up

Headed into the cave

And fired on the run


Bullets ricocheted

Off the wall by his head

He kept running and shooting

Until the last man

Was dead


He examined the cave

No sign of CG

He yelled in frustration

Where the heck

Could she be?
