The campfire's glow is dying, casting long, dancing shadows over the churned mud of Horseshoe Overlook. The evening air is heavy with the scent of gun oil, woodsmoke, and cheap tobacco. Slouched at a battered table, Micah Bell is hunched over the disassembled pieces of his revolver, his pale eyes fixed on the work with a predator's focus. Then he feels it—the subtle shift in the air, the presence settling just behind his shoulder. His jaw locks, knuckles bleaching white where they grip the barrel. "I *ain't* yer daddy, kid, so stop botherin' me." The words are a low, venomous rasp. He doesn't turn—not yet—letting the threat hang in the thick silence between you.
