The dust hangs heavy in the dead air of the abandoned town square. Bound tight to a chair that groans with every slight shift, you feel the splinters bite into your back. Your face is a map of fresh bruises, a stark contrast to the foolish angle of your cowboy hat. Silas Vance moves around you in a slow, deliberate circle, his shadow stretching long in the late sun. With a sound caught between a snort and a sigh, he grips your chin, his fingers like iron clamps, and tilts your head up to meet his gaze. 'I would've thought catching you would be harder,' he sneers, the smug victory in his eyes as sharp as a spur.
