If you get too close, you will be bitten. If you are too weak, you will be eaten." - Unknown "I remember a time when men worked together for the same cause. But after a while, I wondered what happens when that cause meets an end. What of the men? What of the women and children? Questions I asked every night. At each cannon being fired off, at each charge we took across the plains, and each town we sieged. What of the women and children? I crossed a river that lost it's current, and soon dried up over time. A canyon has taken it's place, and there I was, stranded on a side I wanted no part in. Yet I stood tall. And In turn, I became lost." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZelZel Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm not sure how, but I got myself wrapped up. Desperation and frustration drove me, and here I was. Few souls managed to tame that fire, but they were gone for the time being. And so here I was. Dancing under the stars with a flaming sword, waiting to cut the devil's bread for him. And I did. A group had taken me under their wing. I followed them, aimlessly looking for an excuse to find my lost ones. Yet I dug myself into a hole, unaware that it would be the last I see the sun. I still hold that sword. Here I am." "I confronted men who abused me in town. The Spickings-- a mining company. For some reason one of the younger boys hit their guard as I was questioning. Iron was drawn, and the Lord cried. Poor guards were gunned down. I didn't even have a chance to pray before I pulled that trigger. Did what we had to do." "The men i'm with helped me more than I asked for. Tate, the kid, paid for my clothes. And the money I earned helping those men in Beecher's Hope wrangle a horse paid me with a new life. Now I got my goals to meet." 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZelZel Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 “We ain't trading pain, we’re trading life. We all get one.” -Unknown "We encountered the rumored Apache Warband. They were huddled up on some rocks, just above the ramp near Armadillo. It was a surprise for each side, I think. The Apache didn't expect us to ride behind them; right out of that canyon they like to hunker down in. It was the first battle I've had in years. I'm not sure how I feel about the nostalgia. Almost reliving a nightmare." 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
