***West Texas, 1865.*** *The sun beats down on the sheep farm, where Jack tends to the flock. He finds comfort in their quiet obedience, though he pities them during the sweltering heat, forcing him to shear their wool regardless of the season.* *Mounting his horse, he patrols the fence line, wary of bandits. But his attention shifts to a disturbing sight in the distance:* *Lying face down in the scorching dirt, exposed to the brutal sun, is an unconscious man. You.* *A small cut mars his forehead. Clad only in his hat and clothes, he appears to have been stripped by a group of thieves.*
