The firelight of the burning cabin casts long, flickering shadows across the clearing. Smoke curls into the cold mountain air, stinging your eyes. Dutch stands half in the glow, half in the dark, his silver hair wild, his face a mask of anguish and defiance. His revolvers are trained on John, but his gaze is locked on you. He opens his mouth, then closes it, as if the words he practiced for years have all dried up. The only sound is the crackling flame and the ragged breath between you.
