Sheriff Willard was one of those characters I found fascinating as soon as he entered my mind. I could picture him right away, his attitude, his stature, his stare... and he just felt solid, a principled man not jaded by his chosen field of work. His advice is sincere, and it shows he cares about people, and certainly about the two his deceased best friends cared about. Boone was already of that mind, but will the sheriff's advice give Coy food for thought. There's a lot unspoken as of yet, so we'll see. Boone deserves to find what he craves... love.

Woot! Welcome back, Albert! I was addicted to westerns, always dreaming of owning my own horse one day. It came true when I was nineteen, a yearling (supposed to have been a two year old) I had until he died at the age of thirty. He was an amazing animal, and my best friend. Boone would have left long ago, after that punch, if he didn't feel responsible for protecting Coy. He did that, and now it is his turn to at least try to be happy. Thanks, my friend.

Possibly............ As far as the imagery, it's a slow build in some ways. There are a lot of details to come. Oh, and I loved "Big Valley". Heath! So happy you are taking this on, Dan.

For a hairy footed Hobbit.

Hey, Tink. It's a little easier to move around, but still a problem. I'm trying to be careful and give it time.

Night, Terry. Thanks for the comments.

I highly doubt that.

Lol. It's best to warm your belly before a long ride, Johnny.

Boone knows his friend well. And yeah, Coy could never had kept that money. He was just concerned with protecting his brother, something he always tried to do, though the man never deserved his devotion. Leaving Coy is the last thing that Boone wants to do, but he's been hurting a long time. He no longer needs to protect Coy from Will's baser influence, and he needs to leave a life he hates. It's not an easy choice, but the time has come. Yes, he will regret leaving, but he would also regret staying. Unrequited love is a pain like no other. Thanks, Terry!

Though dead, the man is present throughout the story. He had a heck of a lot of influence on his brother, and consequently Boone and Coy's friendship. Hence the title. I'm of the mind Will Diamond doesn't deserve a tombstone, but an old board nailed to a stick, with that epitaph, works for me. This chapter contains a fair bit of narrative, not my usual style, but I don't think it's too much. There's not a lot of characters in this story (that are present) so narration is more necessary than usual. Boone is a decent man, and he knows telling the truth is always the best way to go. Will Coy consider it? We shall see.

Drama up front? I deliberately had the deaths occur offscreen. I was trying to stay away from cliches, and while unsure at the time, I'm happy with the approach I took. Sometimes in life it is time to move on, and you're right that Boone and Coy need to make a change. Boone especially. he's a man who's hurting bad.
