Top notch, as usual. Did you use the Kenny Rogers song as inspiration? or maybe High Noon.
Great story? really like your writing style. This had a western theme but as one commenter said did you get the idea from the Kenny Rogers song or others. THANKS for the short story
Good stuff, Thor! Got any more old writing assignments hanging around? :)
The story was an amalgamation of a lot of Western influences, like The Rifleman, Shane, a couple of John Wayne flicks, and the Kenny Rogers song.
Really really well written. Hell, you could practically smell the sweat and taste the dirt of the old west.
DEAR AUTHOR, you have such a way of drawing the reader / me into the story. Your innate ability at using SUSPENSE is such a gift. Really don't care what western stories influenced you, your own VALUES shown thru. From the many other comments that I have read, you have a very loyal following that appreciates you and what your writing is all about. Nice job EDITOR ! Thanks for sharing this early work ! 5 stars.
