Once Upon a Time in Broken Barnet


All is not well on the frontier, here in Broken Barnet.

Calamity Jane Hillan and her sidekick, Wild Bill Coleman, are facing a challenge from amongst their own gang of outlaws. A young(er) gunslinger, Mark Shooter, is peering round the corner of Main Street, looking for an opportunity to fire a couple of slugs in the back of the hapless pair of oldtimers. He claims they are standing in the way of cleaning up the town, and kicking out its no good gamblin', thievin' and whorin' ways. Can't argue with you there, boy.

Seems to old Ma Angry, though, sat over here on her stool in the Last Chance saloon, spittin' tobacco cross the street, that it don't make no difference which of 'em has their finger on the trigger - the same old innocent bystanders are surely going to get hurt. And besides, who is this new whippersnapper? Ain't he the guy mixed up in that bank job some while back? Why did he go along with the rest of the gang when they held up the Broken Barnet stagecoach and robbed it of the townsfolks' hard earned savings? And where was this six gun Shooter when they pistol whipped poor old Kate Salinger just for trying to stop'em?

One thing is for sure: there is going to be blood spilt in Deadwood City afore the week is out.
