Chapter 3
“They killed Magnum? Fuckers. I loved that horse.” Tom didn’t even try to conceal his words, he was looking straight at the two guards facing him. “They beat you up good?” He asked James.
“I’m fine, don’t worry.” James didn’t want the guards to hear he’s had worse beatings in his life and that he never caved in. He wanted them to believe they struck and frightened him enough to tell them nothing but the truth. “So, we’re just going to be quiet the entire way, huh?” He faced the two guards, but they didn’t even nod back. “How much further? James tried again, but still no response. “Well, can I at least get some water then?” But again, no response.
Both bored to tears with nothing to do – they weren’t even allowed to smoke – they started looking at the stars and making up several shapes which they presumably formed. They weren’t astronomers, but they knew how to find the Orion, some zodiac constellations, and the Polaris, hence how they knew they were travelling northeast.
They must’ve travelled for at least another hour in silence when James spotted something in the distance. “Finally. We must be getting close.” The sky was glowing a dim yellow in front of them.

a journey to the unknown my keyboard will lead.

Če vprašaš mene, se verjetno v daljavi svetlika rumeno zarad kakega ognja/vira svetlobe -> torej najverjetneje mesto :D
Wow, this is awesome, i will have to start reading from chapter one, this is great writing skills you are showing here allowing the daily prompt shape the direction of the story; that is not an easy task.
So very happy to hear you like it and to have you on board! :D It would mean very much to me if you did indeed read the story in its entirety (so far) and possibly provide me with some feedback. But as long as you enjoy the read, however much you read, I consider it a job well done. :D
And thanks! It does get progressively harder with time indeed, though it mostly depends on the prompt. Some are quite easy, others hard as nails.
Love this cowboy vibe you have going on here @svashta. I read the proceeding freewrite from yesterday just so I could get a clearer impression. It's a skill getting the story to flow from prompt to prompt. I'm trying it myself for the first time and it is a lot of fun so far but I'm only 2 prompts in ;-) I can see it getting a lot more difficult as time goes by.
Thanks! :D Hope I can get you hyped enough to read the entire thing! ;D I'll definitely try to include enough cliffhangers to get you interested enough :P
Everything begins somewhere, and as the quote says, if you will wait to start when you're good.... you'll never start.
This entire series started with a single prompt, that I didn't even intend on continuing... But per request of a fellow Steemian, I wrote part 2, then part 3, then ..... .... And here we are, a couple thousand words down the road and going strong :D
I believe in you! You can do it! :D
Every time you get the prompt in, you make me smile - wait - that is every day 😜
Oh, @mariannewest! Thank you! :D If it weren't for you and your daily prompts... There would most certainly be no Wild West, and I would certainly be less productive than I am.
So thank you! For both the comment(s), and all your content (and work)! :D
😄 👍
Never mess with a man's horse and then deny him smokes! It's as if Jax and the guards haven't seen a western...😜
Well... When they're outnumbered like that, and unarmed even, there isn't they can do.
I can't say there won't be no revengem, though.
