Town Visitor-Contest

These here trails are long and wide; I've ridden them for years. I gave up the outlaw ways some time ago and faced my fears. I'm a visitor in this town; folks are giving me the evil eye, Riding on my horse with a gun at my side I feel danger’s nigh. Though I haven't had to draw my gun in a very long while, I've never backed down from any fight that ain't my style. But I won't be here much longer; I'm just passing through, However, if someone challenges me they'll be sad they drew. In the corner of my eye, I see some- one walking my way, I don't want to wound a man today or have him be prey. I slowed down my horse and greeted him with a nod, He drew his gun and pulled his trigger but missed, I was awed. I jumped off my horse, grabbed my gun and shot him dead, He didn't have a chance to shoot back he fell like lead. Mounted my trusted friend and left that ghost of a town, It seemed odd that the onlookers were no longer around. I didn't want to relive my gun fighting days but I'm no coward, That day, I put my old life behind me and it's happy trails onward. *I haven't a clue if this is correct, but I decided to give it a go. 01/20/2021 Contest: Cowboy Sponsor: Line Gauthier Sponsored by Line Gauthier.
