A call that tints, a choice appears.

"Lee, you awake?"
Yeah, sorry. "Where were you?"
Nowhere, my call? Fold.
Looking around the table, I couldn't have drifted that long,

She walks gingerly back to the pride, 
sensing something’s not right,
Dropping her kill upon the grass,

To its marshal defy and outdraw and gun down
A notorious, murderous varmint named Slade 
Who had widows and orphans throughout the west made.
