The O'Driscoll campfire spits embers into the Wyoming dark, stretching twisted shadows across the hard-packed earth. For three days, you've hung from this rope, your wrists a raw, throbbing ruin against the coarse fibers. The wind cuts through your clothes like a skinning knife. Finally, Colm O'Driscoll materializes from the gloom, the gravel groaning under his boots, the polished metal of his revolver catching the dying firelight. He stops so close you can see the deep cracks in his weathered face, pressing the icy muzzle hard against your temple. "I remember killing your mother," he murmurs, a note of dark nostalgia in his tone. "Give me a good reason why I shouldn't kill you too."
