Many men enjoyed the life and freedom of being a cowboy, but it wasn't an easy one in The Old West. The aches were many, but it was the loneliness that could wear a man down. Jubal was one of those who dreamed as he moved and protected cattle, and the day finally came he had enough money to buy his own piece of land. Fate, though, dealt him a terrible hand once again, taking everything from him and leaving him lost and alone. Was Lucas his savior, or just more trouble for a man who'd learned to trust no one?
This story contains my interpretation of western speak, so word choice, sentence structure, tenses (mixing them was apparently common), and phrasing might not be what you are used to. I've tried to be authentic without sacrificing the story's quality. I hope you stick with it. Happy reading!
