-Inspired from Arsonist's Lullaby from Hozier-

'When I was a man I thought it ended, when I knew love's perfect ache.
But my peace has always depended, on all the ashes in my wake.'

Living as an outlaw in the Wild West, constantly under bounty hunters radars, alone and fighting. Thomas Gill used to be a normal man, he had a family, he had love, he had money, he had a normal life. A slightly reckless kid at the most, but it was the best he was going to get. But soon it started to crumble under him and everything he once loved was ripped from him. 
Now a troubled man being hunted down by the law, known for his short temper and crimes. An outlaw, an underdog, a criminal, a nobody. 

'All you have is your fire, and the place you need to reach.
Don't you ever tame your demons, but always keep 'em on a leash.'All Rights Reserved
