The Hour Before Sunset
Dax Morgan policed the town of Ashland with a harsh tongue and pair of Colt revolvers. He tolerated no dissent, even from his own sons. The town tolerated him in return, as long as peace was maintained.
Gil Thompson hated the sheriff more than most. Dax’d been responsible for his ranch being seized by the government, using technicalities and subterfuge to cheat him of his birthright.
Each wanted the other dead. They finally faced off on a lonely dusty road in the hour before sunset.
As Gil rode away, a rivulet of blood soaked into the thirsty clay behind him.
