I always like your stuff... Nice story.

Good story! It reminds me of some of the song challenge series by Jake

Rivers.

Love is grand AAA+++

Having some difficulty with telling a story when you’re dead, we’d have to buy into the ridiculous concept of an after life, as we all know there isn’t one it turns this into just a bit of fun and nonsense, but it was pretty good for what it was.

Loved it ! Just one nit to pick, El Paso and it's characters were written and made famous by Marty Robbins before, the Grateful Dead.

Well, ain't that a kick in the pants. Good references in the story to the three well-chosen tunes, though I'd preferred it ended with something like Orleans's "Still the One" instead of Bon Jovi. Five stars for giving me a quick fifteen minute story to read before I head off to the office.

You packed a lot into a thousand words. Great stuff!

I could hear Marty Robbins singing 'Feleena' during the whole read.... Same ending too,

Great story, it really is only one thousand words. Must have took a lot of editing to accomplish that feat. THANKS

I always liked that song, now even more. Great job!

Excellent work. That is well chosen 1000 words. Marty Robbins says “ Howdy”

Only one minor nit with this well-done short story. Texas Hold'Em didn't really come into popularity to the 1960's, or exist at all until the early 1900's. So, going 'all in' wasn't really a thing during the Old West.

Well done. One of the best short ones I have read.

Best I recall on here

shame what happened to the girl but I guess for him it was good to die as he did. She was really damaged goods by then so it would be rough to stay anyway.

Will echo what I've read below - ome of the best.

1,000 powerful words.

Wow

This tale was brilliant. You could have made a long winded epic with this but it is perfect the way it is.

Five Stars

By the way

"Blaze of Glory" is perfect for this tale.

I loved it! Thanks for sharing.

I guess someone's gonna have to write another song now. Nicely done.

Impressive display of wordsmanship. You made them all count. A beautiful gem of a story.

Well done: a taut tale, well told - as always!

seems like I heard a song very similar to that story except it happened in Laredo; that song was one of my Dad's favorites and was placed at the gravesite when we buried him; he was 103 years old.

Yowza. I never thought it could happen, but this one just didn't work. Too short, too skimpy on details, lacking in the feeling of verisimilitude (up to now, even your wildest yarns SEEMED plausible). Plus a cast of characters I just didn't care about (if it were written, it would get the 8 deadly words - ""I don't care what happens to these people" - as I flung it across the room.

I am disappoint.

*Que Tim Curry saying, "I didn't make him for YOU!"

Nice job, as always. A little bit of "Cross the Brazos at Waco" in there too.

Liked the story, short and too the point. Just one thing got me to scratching my head, the "Grateful Dead"? Never knew they did the song, but if you say they did I guess you should know. IMHO couldn't be as good as Marty Robbins did it though.

Marty Robbins would have laughed at that one. "One little kiss and Felina, good-bye........."

I like Westerns and the justice meted out - the color of the hats and the moral.

5*****.

What happens next? Follow up plz…

Marty Robbins, and El Paso is forever on my Playlist. Well done story, Five Stars.

Beautiful ode to Marty Robbins!!! Love his trilogy! Very well done.

no relationship to loving wife's just a short cowboy story

Not bad.

"Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs"

One of the best damn Country albums ever made. End of story.

Simple right to the point and the goo doesn't always live, that's the west.

The Dead only did El Paso in concert - nearly 400 times! Good story, love a good western. 5 stars

As far as the comment about texas holdem, annie is right EXCEPT no one said it was anything but poker. If you felt lucky you were free to bet what you want, even it was everything you had!

***Thanks for the read.
