Good story! However, see El Paso stories by Jake Rivers and others written 15 years ago.

Surprise ending that was well played. I thought of Clint Eastwood and Uma Thurman. The three of you writers really made my morning. Well done. This exercise was a major success.
Great echoes of the song and beautifully written in the inimitable Stev2244 style. Five stars, Randi.
Faint echos of an El Paso series written in the past. Good stories but not quite up to the originals. Still good though.
Hilarious! Following the first 2 stories, it felt like I had been watching The Mexican, but I didn’t expect an appearance by The Dude. Very entertaining.
Props to JakeRivers, DGHear and the others who wrote stories based on these songs back in the day. Always got mad respect for the OGs. I fail to understand what those stories have to do with ours. Are we being accused of plagiarism? Is that the point? If so, suck my dick. These are original stories, composed completely in our minds and not one of us has read those other stories. We were not aware they even existed until we were finding titles for our stories and searched Lit. The only relationship between our stories and the older ones is that they are based on the same songs. We don't need to justify ours to anyone. Randi.
This was fascinating and funny as hell. Stev2244 is the master of the understatement. This really is some good shit!
YES, YES, YES, YES, YES !!!!! YES to the YES !! Randi's "El Paso" was dope, but this is the shit! Masterpiece material, from the man who gave us "The Hermit," "The Karma Credit Plan" and "Obedience And Betrayal" (just as Randi gave us "Someone To Love Us," "Turn The Page" and "Vagabonds"). Hints of reincarnation, or were they both somehow descendants of Sinclair and Feleena from the aforementioned dope? Whatever, what matters here is that this is a Romance with a great big capital R. An R as big as Texas. A fifth of 5's, straight up. QuickMagazine style.
Wow! What a stunning continuation! 100% romance and adventure, plus a bit of otherworldly stuff bubbling through! 5* story telling.
If it has Randi's name on it, I'll read it. First time reading a group effort. Most enjoyable. Looking back, the only thing that might have been included, but wasn't, would be a cameo appearance by Rod Serling. Five stars each.
What a different and great ending to that little chain, all excellent on their own as separate chapters but worked in very well together. Thank you
Great end to the trilogy! Steve, your writing has improved so much over the last few years. One of my favorites is "My Wife Became a Groupie." While I enjoy that story, the writing in "El Paso City" is crisper, grammatically stronger and, actually, more believable. Thanks!
Great tie-ins to the song and to the previous chapters. I loved the humor and the implications of were-they-or-weren’t-they linked to past lives of Sinclair, Faleena, and Hardy. All of that and 42 being the answer made for an excellent read. 5*.
What a way to tell "the rest of the story"! Sorry, couldn't resist the bad pun and quote. Great story, and happy ending a hundred and thirty years later.
The tale segments came full circle! Thank you Stev2244. Well told story. 5 stars
