Gunslinger's Lullaby

Seeing him dead on the dusty street of Red River would kill her. The boys tried to tell her that Reno wasup to it, but she knew that even if he won this fight, there would be others. These ambitious little mama’s boys wouldn’t leave Reno alone until he was cold in the ground.


She finally got up from the porch swing and went inside. With her mind full of worry, she drifted into a troubled sleep, tossing and turning until she saw herself standing on a lonely, dusty street. She seemed to hear someone calling her from out of a deep fog, and turned to see who it was. As the fog lifted, she saw a cowboy dressed in black with silver spurs that clinked, and long black hair that lifted on the breeze.


“Oh, Reno!” she called out as she ran to him and jumped into his arms.


The two of them laughed like children while he turned them around and around in that empty street.
