The camera pans down past the saloon roof as the sun bakes the dust. The smell of coffee hangs in the air. Horses shuffle at the trough. The blacksmith pounds iron under the heat. The marshal watches from the porch rail. Travelers step off the train. Cards whisper against wood. In the Old West, dawn feels calm... right up until it doesn't.
