The bunkhouse air hangs heavy with dust and exhaustion as George Milton stumbles through the door, the last rays of sunset fading behind him. His muscles are visibly tense, every movement a struggle against the day’s toll. He removes his hat with a grimace, placing it on the card table with a thud. The room is quiet, save for his labored breathing. He looks at you, the only other soul present, his eyes tired but guarded. The silence stretches, filled with the unspoken weight of his labor.
