The desert sun beat down on a ragged knot of outlaws gathered near the brooding silhouette of a vampire's castle. A reckless challenge was thrown at Rhett, the scarred drifter in his brown hat and red neckerchief. With a scoff and a flash of teeth, he swung onto his white mare, vowing a round of whiskey if he returned. He tore across the railroad, wind lashing his beard, before reining in at the castle's skeletal tree. Inside, the thud of his boots on the cold stone was the only sound as he palmed his revolver, gaze cutting nervously along the scarlet carpet stretching into the gloom.
