The Day that I Came to Live with Mr. Tunstall and How my Life had Changed

Chapter 1 the start of a new life

the year was 1878 I was staying in an old barn to stay out of the cold weather that day the sky was getting darker and darker by the minute there was a really bad snow storm coming and the old barn wasn't very much of a refuge from the freezing weather that was coming and it was the only place that I had to stay my mother had just died of tuberculosis and my stepfather had took my stepbrother Joe and left town for Arizona leaving me on the streets to fend from my self the first person that I met a man named Cahill he wasn't friendly to me at all he tried to hurt me I still have nightmares about that and about what my stepfather had done to me I looked at my food supplies and saw that they was getting low I knew that had to go out and get some more food but I did not have any money to buy my food I walked the street looking for a place where I could get some more food but I would have to steal the food I came to a store the sign that hung above the store read Tunstall's store I slipped inside of the store I didn't know that Mr. Tunstall was there with his regulators I took as much food that I could carry I didn't know that I had been caught by Mr. Tunstall I had went back to the old barn that I was staying in to get out of the cold I started to eat some of the food that I had took because I was hungry when Chavez had found me at first I was scared that I was going to get hanged for sure but Chavez told me that I wasn't going to get hanged for taking the food later that day Mr. Tunstall had took me in and became a father to me a year later Richard's brother Ace had came to stay with and I had got a new brother this is how my life had changed but when I had saw Mr. Tunstall murdered right before my eyes I had became the legendary outlaw that I ma today me and the regulators are brothers and that won't change even when the sprit horse comes for us all.
