In a future, centuries after the fall of The Old World, everything looks much like it did in the days of spaghetti westerns and cowboys but mixed with the new age. The story follows the citizens of the small town Babel, who are shielded from the malice of The New World by their faith alone. But when a strange man who calls himself a musician and an undertaker shows up, things start to happen that leave the town's folk questioning their religion. Until ultimately, their actions and choices are no longer their own.

The Man In The Poncho
In the blood-red dusk of the dying Wild West, a nameless cowboy rides alone, draped in a dusty poncho, shadowed by legend. He doesn't speak much-but when he does, the world listens. Some say he's a ghost. Others swear he's Death itself, walking the desert with a six-gun beneath his cloak and judgment in his eyes. After a deadly standoff, he spares a highway robber-only to teach him a lesson harsher than any noose. What begins as a tale of vengeance turns into a deeper journey of redemption, betrayal, and the strange friendship between the damned and the divine. Along the way, they cross paths with real outlaws, lost children, preachers with blood on their hands, and old warriors like Sitting Bull. But this isn't just a Western. This is a reckoning. A test of what it means to fall-and to rise again. Because sometimes, even Death gives second chances. But not third.Complete

#TooSoon
This is a story about individuals trying to make peace with the lives that they lived. It's a dark, depressing story with some humor beats here and there. It does tell of suicide and other sensitive topics. Told in hopefully a respectful way. The idea was for this to help me sort through my past and help my present state of mind. Hopefully this might help at least one other in the same way.Complete
