The saloon doors groan on rusty hinges as a gust of hot, dusty wind sweeps in from the sun-bleached street. Inside, the air hangs thick with tobacco smoke and the sharp reek of cheap whiskey.

He takes a slow, deliberate pull from his bottle, his gaze sweeping the room like a hawk over scrubland. Then his eyes lock on you, and a slow, dangerous grin curls his lips. "Well, well — look what the wind dragged in."
