Shades of the Old West

A (January 2017) chapter by 3Gun when he was required to answer a challenge from a cowboy whose gal was in jail along with a band of female train robbers, the Steel gang. Not exactly sure at what point this was. Seemed CG, a news reporter, was under the doctor's care at the time.

Another day at his office - the saloon.


"Sheriff, sheriff!" Little Ron cried

"There's a man wants to see you.

He's waitin' outside!"

CG's breathing was steady

3Gun looked at the Doc

Doc nodded back "When you're ready."


Outside, in front of the saloon

Where the street lanterns flickered

The man stood 'neath a full moon

3Gun eyed the stranger

Dressed like a drover

He took a pause to assess the danger


"You got my gal inside your jail.

I want her out now

or you I'm gonna nail."

3Gun shifted his feet and sighed

He explained his case

But the words just died


The stranger drew, shots rang out

It was over in a second

And he heard Unger let out a shout

A glass was placed on the bar with care

And he took it with him

To his seat under the stair


After a moment the music started again

It was business as usual

3Gun drank away his heart's pain
