I mean, I couldn't have a Speghetti Western without a proper duel, now could I?
The Traditional Duelist vs the Modern West.

**Chapter 18: The Butcher’s Supper**
The descent into Silver Creek was not a ride into a town; it was a ride into a corpse, reanimated and puppeteered by a cold, surgical intelligence.

Me being a grump said no, signed the digital thingy, and slammed the door on it. :: grumbles about not having time for Twenty somethings wanting to go on a dino safari ::
for clarification, in my old age I am looking more and more like Richard Attenborough of Jurassic Park fame, hat and white beard included. (the jokes I put up with on my trips into town are annoying)
