In the dusty corner of a saloon, a tiny figure perched on a chair that looked more like a throne. Ben ‘Midget’ Owen took a slow, deliberate sip of his whiskey, the amber liquid burning a trail down his throat. The clock chimed midnight, and the usual raucous laughter and gunfire of Lawless Ridge seemed to hold its breath, as if waiting for something to happen.
Ben’s eyes flicked up to the mirror behind the bar, studying the room’s patrons. They were the same rough faces he saw every night: gamblers with their cards close to their chests, gunslingers with their eyes on the door, and the occasional traveler with more gold than sense. His reflection stared back, a stark contrast to the chaos around him. At just three feet tall, Ben was a peculiar sight in the Wild West, where size often meant survival. His short gray hair was slicked back, and his sharp eyes took in everything, hinting at the cunning mind that had kept him alive in a town that chewed people up and spat them out.
The saloon was dimly lit, with flickering candles casting eerie shadows on the wooden walls. The air was thick with the smell of tobacco and sweat, and the clinking of poker chips was the only sound that could be heard over the murmur of greed and desperation. Ben’s tiny hands shuffled a deck of cards with surprising dexterity, a skill honed from years of playing for his supper. Despite his size, he had a knack for reading people, a talent that had earned him both respect and fear in Lawless Ridge.
Outside, the wind howled like a pack of hungry coyotes, stirring up clouds of dust that danced through the cracks in the walls. The town was a collection of ramshackle buildings, thrown together with nails and hope, clinging to the edge of civilization like a dying man to a lifeline. The train station, Ben’s home, was a sad testament to better times. Its once grand facade was now weathered and chipped, the paint peeling like the last layers of dignity from a forgotten monument.
Life in Lawless Ridge was a daily gamble. Ben had seen it all: the drunken brawls that ended in bloodshed, the quiet moments of despair behind closed doors, and the fleeting moments of joy that reminded people why they hadn’t left yet. He had made a name for himself in this desolate place, but he knew that reputations were as fleeting as the morning dew in the desert sun. Survival was the only constant in the town where the law was as absent as a saint in a sinner’s heart.
The doors of the saloon swung open, letting in a blast of cold air and a cloud of dust. The chatter hushed as a group of men, their faces hidden by bandanas, stumbled in. The tension in the room spiked like a cactus thorn, and Ben’s hand drifted to the small knife tucked into his boot. He knew the type: outlaws looking for their next score. They scanned the room, eyes greedy and uncaring. Ben took a deep breath, willing his heart to slow. He had been in this situation before, but that didn’t mean he liked it.
The group settled at a table nearby, their voices a low murmur that Ben strained to hear. They talked in hushed tones, their words a jumble of greed and violence. Ben leaned in, his height allowing him to listen without drawing attention. He picked up snippets of their conversation: gold, a train, and a heist. His heart quickened; this was no ordinary robbery. They were planning something big, something that could shake the very foundations of Lawless Ridge.
The whiskey was flowing freely, and as the night grew later, the outlaws grew louder. One, a burly man with a silver tooth, threw his head back and roared with laughter, spilling a good portion of his drink. Ben knew that tone; it was the sound of a man who had consumed enough alcohol to let his guard down. He waited, his senses honed, for the moment when the truth would spill out like the whiskey on the floor.
As the night progressed, the bandana-clad leader slammed his fist on the table, the sound echoing through the saloon. “Dammit, I said we ain’t tellin’ nobody!” he bellowed. But the silver-toothed man was beyond caring. “What’s the harm?” he slurred, “Ain’t like it’s gonna change the plan.” The leader’s glare was as sharp as a bowie knife, but it didn’t deter the drunkard.
“Fine,” the leader relented, his voice dropping to a murmur that Ben had to lean in to catch. “But keep it down.” The silver-toothed man leaned back in his chair, his eyes glazed over with intoxication. “We’re gonna hit the midnight train, the one that’s supposed to be carrying the mayor’s gold.” Ben’s heart skipped a beat. This was big, bigger than anything he’d heard of in Lawless Ridge. The mayor’s gold was a legend, a treasure that could make or break a man.
The conversation grew increasingly heated, the air thick with the scent of their desperation. Ben’s mind raced, piecing together the puzzle of their words. The heist was set for the next night, and the town’s sheriff was in their pocket. It was clear that the outlaws had planned this meticulously, and they had no intention of letting anyone stand in their way. Ben took another sip of his whiskey, his hand steady despite the tremor in his soul. He had a decision to make, and he knew that the fate of Lawless Ridge could hang in the balance.
Slipping from his chair, he made his way through the crowd, his diminutive stature allowing him to navigate the room unnoticed. He approached the bar and leaned in close to the bartender, a grizzled man named Sam who had seen enough of the world to have lost any semblance of shock. “Sam,” Ben whispered, “I need to know the schedule for the midnight train.” Sam glanced over at the outlaws before nodding almost imperceptibly. He slid a piece of paper across the counter, the train’s itinerary scribbled in a hasty scrawl.
The train was due to arrive from the east, carrying supplies and passengers before heading west, laden with gold. Ben’s eyes narrowed as he studied the document. The town depended on that gold, and if it were to fall into the wrong hands, Lawless Ridge would spiral into an even deeper abyss of chaos. He had to do something, but what could a midget man do against a gang of seasoned outlaws? The answer was simple: he had to be smarter than them.
With the itinerary tucked safely into his pocket, Ben retreated to the shadows, his thoughts racing. He knew the layout of the town like the back of his hand, and he had friends in low places. Maybe, just maybe, he could come up with a plan to stop the heist before it was too late. As the clock chimed the first hour of the morning, he slipped out of the saloon, the cool night air slapping him in the face like a cold, hard truth.
The moon cast a silver glow over the dusty streets, illuminating the grime and despair that clung to every corner. Ben made his way to the train station, his boots echoing on the wooden planks. The station was empty, save for the occasional rat scurrying across the tracks. His mind buzzed with possibilities, each more dangerous than the last. He had to get word to the sheriff, but he knew that was a gamble in itself. The sheriff might be dirty, or he might not believe a midget man’s tale.
He settled into his makeshift bed in the station’s supply room, the floorboards creaking beneath him. The night was long, and sleep was a distant friend. Instead, he sharpened his knife, his thoughts turning over the information he had gathered. He had to act fast, and he had to be prepared for anything. The whispers of the wind outside seemed to hold secrets, as if it knew the fate of the gold and the town that rested on its delivery. Ben ‘Midget’ Owen was about to play the biggest hand of his life, and he was going all in.
The next evening, Ben watched the horizon, the sun setting like a fiery coin into the dustbowl. The train was due any moment, and he knew the outlaws would be waiting, eager to pounce like vultures on a dying animal. He had made his decision: he would follow them from a safe distance, hoping to warn the sheriff or find a way to intervene without alerting the gang. It was a risky play, but he had to do something. The town had taken him in when he had nothing, and now it was his turn to stand up for it.
As the train’s whistle pierced the stillness, Ben took a deep breath and stepped outside. The air was charged with anticipation, the kind that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. He blended into the shadows, his tiny frame giving him the advantage of stealth. The outlaws had set up camp just outside of town, their horses snorting impatiently as they checked their weapons. Ben studied their movements, his mind racing with possible scenarios.
The train chugged into view, a beacon of civilization in the lawless wasteland. The outlaws tensed, and Ben could almost hear the cogs turning in their minds. He knew that once they made their move, it would be a bloody mess. The passengers, the crew, they were all pawns in this high-stakes game of greed. He waited, his heart pounding in his chest, as the outlaws mounted their horses and kicked up clouds of dust, heading straight for the station.
