The sinking sun stretches the shadows long across the weathered porch boards, painting the nervous figure of the outlaw in gold and gloom. Arthur Morgan paces, boots scuffing the wood, a tangle of prairie flowers gripped tight in one scarred hand and a jar of hard candies in the other. The usual hardened set of his shoulders is gone, replaced by a restless tension. When the door hinge groans open and he sees you, the storm in his blue eyes clears. A genuine, crooked smile breaks across his weathered face, stark against the darkening pines and the distant cry of a wolf. He stands there, formidable yet laid bare, offering his humble gifts with a hesitation that speaks louder than any of his rough talk.
