"Hello Caleb. Welcome back."
"How long I been laid up this time?"
"Just overnight," Mary answered. "The bullet went through the muscle on your shoulder; it didn't hit bone or anything but you bled a bunch. I think you'll be back on your feet in a day or two." Mary fussed around straightening his pillow and the covers. "You just stay in bed until I let you get up."
"Yes 'em, whatever you say. Sides got nowhere to go now, but where ever it is, I think we ought to be together girl."
"Where to?" Mary asked as she and Caleb mounted their horses; Caleb on Gris and Mary on a bay mare he'd bought for her. It was almost three weeks after Caleb had been shot.
"I'd like to go see Wilma in Fort Bliss. Let her know about Ellie, if she don't already, and that the men that killed Ellie have been dealt with." Caleb looked at Mary and smiled.
"What say after that we go back and rebuild my, I mean our, ranch. The hill country around San Antonio is God's own back yard and I think we could make a life for ourselves there."
Mary coyly smiled and said "Suits me just fine. Let's go."

Flar19584 days agoEvery has a bad day and to me this story is a little weaker as the last ones. Maybe because of the enemies i don't know. Here is no identiving with the MC no little aside because he goes hunting the murderer and nothing els.
Drtywrdsmithover 1 year agoYou spin great western yarns, hope you write some more! Always fun to read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jhbrown27over 4 years agoI'm a sucker for such stories, I admit. Yes, yes, I've read dozens of them but I still like them.
Anonymousover 4 years agopretty good writen for a good ol boy that never got west of Gumbo
Anonymousover 5 years agoA good story at last have read so much sh*t this was a more refreshing forget the political freaks it was just a story
Anonymousover 5 years agoSo... Liberals are the ones that force laws down peoples throats... And don't obey ths laws they write... Kinda like that law about all men being created equal... And if you fought on the side of the confederacy... You fought to preserve slavery... Period.. The hypocracy of white america is deplorable... As are their excuses for their continued racism... I quit reading at the same place shango did... And for the same reason... And the fact that some racist right wingers jumped in and defended this... Isn't something to be proud of... Shame cause i was enjoying the story up until that point... Sorry... Won't be reading anymore of your works...

Anonymousabout 6 years agoI enjoyed the story, but I think you rushed the ending. A little more detail concerning his rehab and building on the relationship with Mary would have made it better.
rightbankalmost 7 years agoRather than rely on others.
On their way back through he should take the sheriff aside and tell about the problem in the telegraph office.

Sir Galahadover 7 years agoThe characters are almost standard Hollywood issue for a programmer Western, but Caleb's motivation is certainly believable. The sheriff who understands the difference between Law and Justice was a nice touch.
My one complaint is that there was no erotic action in the story, any more than there would have been in the 1930s or 1940s oaters that this fits in with so nicely. The name of the site IS Literotica, after all. There were two points where you could have had Caleb take Mary to bed and it would have been organic to the story; I was disappointed you chose not to take advantage of them.
One other comment as regards formatting. When you have a character thinking, either put his thoughts in quotes with an appropriate wording like "he thought" or "he said to himself," something like that; or put his thoughts into italics so it is clear he is thinking now and not speaking. Less confusing for your readers.
calflashabout 8 years agoway too much circumstance and "good luck" tracing this band of murderers in wide open spaces. Still an engrossing and enjoyable read - just not up to usual level of believability.
