Page 7 the Continuing Saga of Zack Waverly

THE LOST SOULS SALOON  Page 7

I pushed aside the swinging doors
And stepped out on the street
My poor horse stood, alone all night
without a thing to eat

I led him by the reins 
As we turned to make our way
In hopes to find some oats
Or perhaps a bail of hay

And as we walked so slowly
Just drifting out of town
I couldn't help but looking back
And so I turned around

For a moment,  thought I saw
vaguely catching just a trace
In a window, 'bove the bar
Of a ghost-like woman's face

I'll never know, if it was real
Or just a torrid dream
But doomed to wander in a world 
Where nothing's as it seems

THE END

Zack will be back In
SHOOT OUT at the KOA CORRAL

A wild West story, Jerry. I think I should have to go back to the beginning to have a full appreciation of the story. As a stand alone narrative, I enjoyed this already.

Thanks Kim, I hope I can interest you to read more---I created this guy 5 years ago, and since then, he's all I ever want to write about.
