After a prolonged absence I have returned to post some westerns to Storiesonline to post a western or two for your reading enjoyment. The first story for your perusal is called Missing the Mark and it is the tale of a deadly shootout between the best of friends. What could drive two men who share livelihood, food, booze and even women do that would make them want to kill one another? Did one cheat the other at cards? Steal the others best gal? Did he short sheet his bed? No, he burnt a pancake.
Give 'er a read and drop me a note letting me know how you like it, dislike it, love it, or even hate it. It is a short, short story, so won't take you long.
