I step around the corner of the square, brick building, trying to conceal myself in the shadows. I raise my arm, aiming the pistol at the rival gang member's temple. A second before I squeeze the trigger, I see a flashback of my life, of all the events that brought me here. I was young then, and reckless. I spent most of my spare time breaking into the block of abandoned warehouses in the ghost town near my house then. If I had known where that would lead me, I would never have set foot there.

Where The Bullet Lands
I suddenly wake up from the nightmare. I rub the haziness out of my eyes and grab the bottle of whiskey sitting next to my bed. I take a big swig and stand up. My room is dusty and as rundown as you get. It's 1881, I am 16, a drunk and couldn't stay away from trouble if my life depended on it, which it does, and I am also wasting away in some rundown room a saloon owner lets me stay in. I grab my clothes and change quickly then put my pistols in my holsters. I open the door slowly and begin walking downstairs towards the chaos the wild west has to offer. The saloon was packed, it was filled with older men who have nothing better to do rather than drink and waitresses who had no self respect and would flirt just for a little extra money. I walk down the stairs and sit at one of the bars, although I am 16 and probably shouldn't have a drinking problem, I do. What can I say? I have daddy issues. Destiny is my worst enemy, and its guiding me down a dark path. For a girl who cant die, I get in a lot of bad situations.Complete
