It's a long, hard trail to Whitmore Reans. A land of oblivion, hopes and broken dreams. A long way to come to re-enter, the scene of adventure, Wolverhampton Town Centre, the last cowboy had come back to make one last stand. This was home turf, the place of his birth, he used to hold this town in the palm of his hand.

His spurs clinked the ground as he wandered around, six-two in his stetson and boots. The hero of stories that they're telling still from Gornal Bank to Brierly Hill was back in the place of his roots. But now times was hard and the local town's bard was singin' a quite different story. He was lookin' for that one more last chance, that ultimate stance, a final blaze of glory.

Was he now just a spent force? That had just run it's course? He thought as he tied up his horse that he might soon have to turn into glue. He needed a drink and some time to think about what he was going to do. He found a saloon called 'J.D Wetherspoon' he opened the door and walked through...

Sea & Earth Angel Thank you for your replys, I am so grateful to people for just reading ( I appreciate it's quite long & tiresome) let alone replying to this or anything. I am working on a sequel if only for my own amusement, (no plans for any violence, let alone anything to horses...)
