Wild West: 1877
John Stewart entered the Wild West with the time box!
His first historical entry into the Wild West and the era of outlaw and wanted cowboys was a risk-taking choice. John appeared inside a horse stable, put the box in a bag, and left the stable. A little boy who was playing near the farm was nailed to his place by seeing John and looked at him with surprise and a little fear. He took two steps back and then quickly ran towards the house. John didn't care and continued on his way. As he was leaving, he heard a gunshot behind him. The smell of the first trouble filled the space; John turned his face and saw that a big man was pointing at him. He was the owner of the farm and the house, and the little boy was standing next to him. John now realized that the little boy thought he was a thief and he intended to steal their horses. So he shouted at the man that he didn't intend to steal, but the big man didn't pay attention and asked John to stay where he was to inform the sheriff; otherwise, he would shoot; John couldn't take such a risk. So he quickly ran away and went away to a more secluded place outside the city. He found a small garden in the middle of which was a big old apple tree. He decided to bury the bag there so that whenever he finished his work in this historical era, he would come to it and so that no damage would be done to it. John spent the night in the same vicinity, behind a big rock.
The following day, he changed his clothes and dressed like a cowboy; John had thought about everything, a long brown coat, high boots, and a brimmed hat, he was very fond of western movies, and this is probably the reason why he chose his first journey to this era. After changing his clothes, John proceeded towards the city. He is looking for Jesse James's golden gun. There are many legends and stories about this gun, in which initials of the name and last name of Jesse James are engraved on it, and Jesse James made it for his own And he only kills certain people with it. Historians believe that there was no such gun, and Jesse James only used a silver gun, but John Stewart fully believes in the existence of this gun and definitely wants to add it to his collection.
John entered the city with pride, and he knew that in order to achieve his goal, he had to behave in a balanced and self-confident manner; he should not let anyone suspect; as he was advancing into the city, he saw a saloon and went towards it to find out about the whereabouts of Jesse James. As soon as he got to the door of the saloon, his eyes fell on a poster on the wall:« a strange man with medium height, white skin, about 35 years old with dark hair, was trying to steal Mr. Fisher's horses; if you see him, report to the sheriff, get a reward.«John said to himself that it couldn't get any worse than this; the trouble had already started, and now he was like other wanted criminals; however, he left himself in the hands of chance; he gave the possibility that they did not recognize him, because it seems that the little boy only saw the general features and could not describe him completely. Therefore, his photo was not on the wall either, and John entered the saloon with this possibility; all the people in the saloon became silent when they saw john entered ; they turned their heads towards him; John slowly walked towards an empty chair, only the sound of his footsteps could be heard inside the saloon. It was as if the path leading to the chair was miles away, and John was praying to reach it faster and get rid of the annoying and savage gazes of the cowboys faster, but he could not increase his speed all at once; otherwise, a suspicious scene would be created. He remembered the movie "Green Mile" He said to himself that this path would either lead to his death like John Coffey, or he would get a cup of coffee!. Finally, he reached the chair that was associated such as a safe zone, he took a deep breath and turned his back to the chair to sit on it, and suddenly he fell hard on the ground, the laughter of the crowd was loud, and a deep shock came to John, he was creating the scene of his sitting in his mind, and he did not expect anything like this. He looked behind himself, saw someone's legs, raised his head, and saw a teenage boy standing above him and looking at him mockingly. "Hey, Billy, leave him alone, kid; look after your own work, or I will throw you out, the saloon."the manager said. Billy looked at the saloon manager, raised his hands to his shoulders as a sign of surrender, and said: OK, OK, Joe, don't be angry; I just wanted to welcome our guests.» The audience's laughter rose again, and Billy returned to his seat, the saloon manager, who was a fat man, asked John to sit down and not look for trouble.
John ordered a bottle of wine, and the rest of the people slowly removed their gaze. John asked the bar manager who that boy was. The man said: He's Billy, the kid, he always causes trouble. He thinks he's a bigot and a gangster and try to act like them» . John had guessed correctly that was Billy one of the villains of the western world, the one who had a whole story and history about himself, who mocked him now. This could be a dream, but it was true. The people inside the saloon were still looking at John more and more and chattering. As if they were looking for evidence to prove that he was the wanted criminal in order to get that reward, but they had to be sure. The saloon manager asked John if he had recently come to this city. He doesn't look familiar, and doesn't belong here. John was a little surprised and said: Umm, yeah, I'm here for work. Do you know where can I find Jesse James?.» The saloon manager was surprised as if he had heard the name of Grim Reaper; although hearing his name was not as scary as hearing the jesse james name,his eyes bulged out of his sockets; he took the glass of John's wine and said with confusion: Please leave here; we are not selling you anything, I don't know anything, and I don't know what you are talking about.» John asked him to be calm and told him that he is not looking for trouble. One of the people in the saloon who had heard their words got up and said: what do you want from him, haa? We don't even mention his name, you have to be very brave that you want to see him.» The chattering of people rose; meanwhile, a big man entered the saloon; it was the same farmer in whose stable John had appeared. He had come with his son. John quickly turned his face away from him and lowered his hat along with his head so that the little boy wouldn't recognize him, but he didn't spend enough speed in doing this because in the first moment the little boy and his father saw him. the big man sat next to John. Now the danger is closer to him than anything. John looked at him narrowly, and his heartbeat increased; he remembered that this is not modern times, they kill people quickly, and any wrong move would give him his death, so he tried to keep his control. The little boy whispered in his father's ear something. The big man furrowed his full eyebrows and looked at John. John pretended not to notice the man's serious look. The big man quickly pulled out his gun and pointed it at John from the side of his pants pocket, "Don't move, bastard; I found you. You are the thief who stole from me.."the big man said angrily. The attention of all the people in the saloon was drawn to them, and they all pulled out their guns and pointed at John. John looked at the man. Then he looked around at the people inside the saloon, all the guns were staring at him like hungry creatures, and he will feed them quickly with a simple movement "You are wrong sir, I have business here, and I did not steal anything from you."John said fearfully.
_If you didn't want to steal anything, then what were you doing in my stable? And why did you run away when I told you to wait?
John, who couldn't say that I landed there with a time machine, was looking for a better excuse, said: I was just looking at the horses, sir; I wanted to buy from you, that you shot at me.
"Nonsense! Nonsense! You should have come to me instead of running away. You are lying like a dog. I have to hand you over to the sheriff." , the man grinned and said in his thick sound. Suddenly Billy the kid, came in the middle and said: Hey, Mr. Fisher, I found him first and so he is my prisoner; I have to hand him over and get his reward.
Mr. Fisher looked angrily at Billy, got up, and walked slowly and majestically toward Billy, and as he walked towards him, Billy swallowed hard so that you could see the trail down his throat. When Fisher approached Billy, he raised his heavy and thick hand and slapped Billy so that Billy fell to the ground and was thrown towards the chairs. This was not his strongest slap, but it was enough to throw Billy to that side, and Mr. Fisher did not bother himself much. The crowd roared in surprise; Billy's soul was full of fear and anger, his whole body trembled, and he looked at the big man with trembled lips, and while he put his hand on his slapped cheek, he tried hard not to let his tears flow But in the end, a drop of tears fell from his eyes, no one expected this move, until now, Billy's pride had not been so broken in front of everyone before , he got up with anger, so as not to be a source of ridicule from the crowd, he said to Mr. Fisher: You'll pay for it, I'll make you apologize, asshole. Mr. Fisher took a few steps towards him, and Billy quickly ran away and left the saloon; the crowd's laughter rose again.
- Does anyone else have anything to say, gentlemen?
Among all the people, some of them shouted : all yours man!
Everyone got busy with their work; Mr. Fisher was the city's bully, and no one dared to go around him. People remembered that he once choked a man with his food!
John, who was watching this show, thought to himself that this person is very brutal and he should be careful.
"Well, now it's your turn. Come with me; otherwise, I will send your corpse for the sheriff" Mr. Fisher turned to John and said.
John did not get up and hesitated a little, and the big man shouted: DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID? GET UP, OR I WILL SEND YOUR GODDAMN CORPS FOR THE SHERIFF!!
John said: But I am innocent, sir. Please let me go!
The big man pulled out his gun and pointed it at John, and said: What now? I count to 3, and if you don't get up, I will pull the trigger, 1, 2, … John quickly got up and said: all right , all right, man just don't shoot.!
John saw that he had no choice and with any wrong move, he might spoil the whole history; he got up and went to Mr. Fisher to go to the police station. All the men in the saloon looked at John with pity and regret as if they were sending him to the gallows. John now understood how John Coffey felt; as soon as they were a meter away, there was the sound of the door opening, a large shadow appeared on the floor of the saloon, and silence swept over everyone. John raised his head and saw a man who looked very much like the person he was looking for. Yes, he is Jesse James; Mr. Fisher was surprised and lost his balance a little. But he quickly straightened himself up, he didn't expect to see Jesse James, speak of the devil, and the devil himself appeared at the moment, Billy the kid with grandeur and pride and a smile as if cold water had been poured on the fire while he had both hands on his belt showed himself from behind Jesse James. Now that mr. Fisher realized what happened and why Jesse James was suddenly apeared here,he gave Billy a threatening and usurping look.
"You are very welcome, Mr. James. Would you like anything."? The saloon manager said flatteringly.
Jesse James didn't pay attention; he looked straight into John Stewart's eyes and said: I heard you want to see me, stranger?
John swallowed and braced himself, and he thought to himself that this was a good opportunity to save himself from the sheriff and maybe if he is not proven innocent, save him from execution; he said: Yes, I came to this city for finding you, but the people of the city, especially Mr. Fisher, had a misunderstanding. I didn't come to steal; I just lost my way and went to Mr. Fisher's farm and stable.
Jesse James, who was curious about what this strange man was doing with him, and had the courage to reach out to him, shook his head as a sign of confirmation and turned to Mr. Fisher and said: This man wanted to meet me, so he is coming to my house with me. Then he turned to John and said: You were lucky that I had come to the city; it's better worth it because I don't give anyone the time an a chance to meet me and enter my house, stranger.
John moved slowly from Mr. Fisher's side and went towards Jesse James the anger inside Mr. Fisher, who was following John's movement with his eyes was like a bomb that he was trying to prevent from exploding; he said in a hesitant sound: But Mr. James, I found this man, and he was planning to steal from me, and his innocence has not been proven yet, so he is now a criminal and should go to the police station.
Jesse James said to Mr. Fisher: Did he steal something from you? Mr. Fisher said: No, but it must be proven whether he intended to steal or not. "It didn't matter anymore." Said jesse. and turned his face to leave, but Mr. Fisher, who was jealous that Jesse could do whatever he wanted so easily, shouted: YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, HE IS MINE! Jesse James quickly turned his face and pointed his gun at Mr. Fisher. Mr. Fisher was scared and pulled his head back and raised his hand. Jesse's eyes fell on Mr. Fisher's son, who was looking at Jesse James with fear and horror. Jesse lowered his gun while connecting his eyes with the little boy's eyes and left the saloon. John walked behind him, and Billy and two of Jesse James' companions also walked after him.
