Westerns!!!! Come on people, I know you have 'em!

Hey everyone. So lately I've gotten a craving for...you guessed it, WESTERNS! So, I want your best Western stories. And I don't mean like, now-a-days West. I want the cowboy, gun shooting, outlaws, Indians, Army, etc West. Whatever you decide, I want your best Western stories.

Rules:
1. More than one entry per-person is allowed but I don't encourage it. Choose your favorite and best and put it in.
2. Try to comment on other entries. Not mandatory but you get extra brownie points with me.
3. No TyPiNg LiKe ThIs. Got it?
4. Please please please check your spelling and grammar. I will write comments with corrections but you have to check over the story first. If it is filled with mistakes showing me that there was no read-over, it will be disqualified.
5. Any type of Western. Any idea that pops into your head. Be original and creative. PS: A little Romance is good too.
6. HAVE FUN!!!

That's all. I look forward to reading all your stories.
