The slow methodic thud of horse hooves hitting the sand, lulled me side to side, as we walked through the endless desert hills.

The blistering sun hung overhead, a constant reminder of how dry my mouth was. Every painful swallow was like trying to swallow a mouthful of cotton.

My head swam, fatigue overtaking me as I suddenly pitched forward. Landing heavily in the sand. The grains were rough between my fingertips as I faded in and out of consciousness.

The echoing cry of a vulture, piercing my ears as it flew overhead.

A dark shadow swimming into my view as my eyes finally closed. "Please," I trailed off my words sounding foreign to my own ears. Let my death be painless.

...

I fell to my knees, the breath long gone from my lungs as my throat constricted. My resolve fading as I stared at the still body in front of me.

Disbelief matching the tears that rolled down my cheeks.

And suddenly as I knelt in the sand, all of a sudden I felt tired... Like the world had drained me for everything I had.

the LEGEND of She-Cat by SEViolet

Duncan Conner was a man full of anger and anguish, having lost everything he loved, and nearly his own life. Living in self-imposed exile, he wasn't seeking out companionship, hoping to heal from the deep wounds of loss. What he found in the scorching heat of the desert sand would change his life forever...if he survived. ~~~ My slap caught his jaw, the echo of it bouncing back from against the rock, my palm stinging fiercely from the strength behind the blow. The next I knew I was looking up at the sky, ears ringing, shuddering waves of pain rippling from the side of my face. I had not even seen him move, but the rider had spared no strength in his instant retaliation. Dizzy, the world somewhat indistinct and whirling I did not resist when he reached down and again pulled me to my feet. I swayed and nearly fell but the man caught me, gently holding me in place until I could stand on my own. I looked at him, my eyes wide with astonishment, and he must have sensed how I felt because he shrugged. He knew I did not understand him, but he spoke anyway, his voice deep. "I told you I'd lay you out flat, and I don't speak for the pleasure of it."

Firefly Night by Never_Ending_Story7

▍ AN ORIGINAL ╱ western romance And if longing had a face, it would wear my features like a mask. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I watched the fireflies dance, Their glow fading softly in the dark, They slipped from my hands, gentle as they came And like a whisper on the wind, The night went quiet again. When we were young, we were taught the distinction between A hero and a villain Good and evil A savior and a lost cause We were taught this But what if the only difference is the one whos telling the story UNDER HEAVY EDITING LIKE STORY LINE WISE So if you come back one day and it's completely changed I apologize! I had two ways I wanted this to go and wrote out one entire book before realizing a different way would be better

Facing betrayal, greed, danger, and love, she must choose the kind of future she wants for herself. Safely hidden away, alone, and content, or learn to accept somethings are worth the risk. * * "I hear there was trouble in White Rock two days ago. Man by the name of Ludlow was shot dead in the street. He's a hired gun from Texas, talk is he tangled with Red Rivers and lost." Faith felt her heart quicken at the mention of his name and frowned. "Red River's? The gunfighter? Last I heard he was in New Mexico." "Not no more ma'am. Word about is he's got a price on his head and all the local guns who think they're salty enough are out to take him down." Her mind was whirling. Rivers was a wanted man; every hired gun in the territory would be after him, especially if there was a large reward involved. Where would he go, what would he do? Of all the stories she'd heard of Red, he was not a man to run from a fight.

𝐑𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐃𝐚𝐳𝐞 ✓ by TheEnigmaticJesse

Why don't you believe?" I ask whilst clenching the cross necklace that laid around my neck. "God has the ability to heal the world so if he exists why doesn't he? Why does he let innocent people suffer just to spite the ones doing wrong? Why would he leave two young boys motherless and then parentless? Why does character building mean going through shit?" Holden's voice cracks and I see his lips quiver, he looks away avoiding my gaze. In that moment I knew he needed comforting and sometimes that doesn't mean words, so I laid my head on his shoulder and took his hand in mine letting him know if all else goes wrong, I'll always be there for him. __________________________________ Addison Mills just had her life turned upside down, from the death of her mother to leaving the only home she's ever known and Micah, the man she loved.

Or will this be another tradegy added to the history books?

False Hope by Saharwood

"I wanted you Lily Rose. You were all I ever wanted. You were the girl I loved." Wanted, loved. Past tense, in the past. No more. He didn't love her anymore. It had hurt her. He had hurt her. Just like she had hurt him by denying her love for him. "I'm sorry, Daniel," she whispered as he began to wrap his arms around her. It gave her no comfort. No peace. Suddenly she realized, that all the good things that she had gone through, all the happiness and sunshine was false. False hope because in the end no matter how hard she tried, the fate in store for her sister wouldn't be stopped by the hope that maybe tomorrow would be a better day. Deep down she loved him. Whether he still loved her or not she loved him. Looking up at him with sad eyes she said, "I could never hate you." He offered a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Good," he offered, "because I don't think I can be your punching bag again." She smiled up at him before she wrapped her arms around him and they held each other for a long time. Lily Gilbert is small town girl from Idaho. She's bright, caring, and loyal to a fault. Life was pleasant for her, but things escalated quickly when her younger sister, Tami, was diagnosed with leukemia. From then on, nothing is the same anymore.

What she doesn't know is that the cowboy her sister loves is the man that has been searching for Lily his whole life. Only one question remains. How can Lily choose one of them without breaking someone's heart?

I won’t rest until I bring him to justice” “By murder?” The determination in Adam’s eyes gave Katie little hope of changing his mind. He said nothing but stared at her as if the thought of murder was completely foreign to him. “That’s exactly what you’ll be doing, Adam” Katie warned. Adam’s jaw clenched and he nodded in determination. “Then so be it.”
