When somethings afoot. Do what's best


"Go ahead and draw, son." The grizzly old man panted

"Sit down old man, I'm not going to draw down on you in cold blood. This is merely just a misunderstanding." The younger gentleman recanted

"That's the problem with you young bucks these days, you don't know when something goes without saying, we have nothing to talk about. Only thing left is dying."

Axle steel was a man on the hunt. He never backed down from anyone. He was a living legend in the flesh who had won his 11th duel by his 21st birthday. His reputation preceded him and no one dare offend his honor.

To think, we'd leave all this behind. At a time when there is so much to live for."

"Ain't nothing worth living for these days."

"Well what do ya know? About these days?"

Axle was up in his years and ready to die about it. The younger generation had taken to calmer interactions and more in depth perspectives. Things that had gotten many of his peers shot dead in his day. They truly didn't see how lucky they had it. His curse was always knowing what was going to happen, some would say that's called getting old.

With a sneer grin Axle steadied himself. It's wouldn't take but a split of a second to split this numbskulls skull in two with the .50 cal that hung on his waist.
