Wild West - Part 18
“He can take your kid. But then again, we can just ask to bring him with us. You’re right, we’ve got the perfect leverage. And if the dome collapses when Fishnick dies, we’re dead anyway, so why not try and make the most of all this? Cheers!” James and Tom clanked their glasses together and emptied the insides. “You know this means we’re done with the way we lived up until now, right? After this one last job we’ll ride into the sunset like father and son, like we were meant to from the very beginning.”
“Don’t get all sentimental on me, dad,” Tom emphasized the word dad and a smile showed up on his face. “But yeah, one final job. What will we do then, though? I don’t know much besides killing.”
“I believe you’ve had a good look at my property out here in the middle of nowhere. I grow my own crops. I make my own tools. I was like you when I was your age, but then decided I wanted to be able to take of my own self. If there’s no other people and no other jobs there, we’re going to build a little house much like this one for each of us. You okay with that?”
“I’ll take that over being dead any day.”
They both laughed.
Outside, though, the sun was setting, and their time laughing was coming to an end.
"Sunset"

I turn your writing prompts into stories.

Huzzah to a homesteading future for your characters!
*potential ... potential homesteading future. :P
You're planning to be cruel to these people, aren't you?
I'll let you in on a little secret, okay?
But promise not to tell anyone.
I am.
I am planning to be cruel.
Ah, but it's freewrite. The best laid plans can take a serious detour when you let your subconscious write.
takes a glance back at older stories... Unless specifically told they needed be positive, they were brutal.
Yepp, I think it's safe to assume that what I have in store for these two, and the deities.... is cruel. :p
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DO GOOD.
I do.
But I also have the power not to.
It's a strange game to play God, it is.
Famous last words. It's right up there with "only being 2 days from retirement ". I'm looking forward to learning what, and possibly who, is under the dome!
Wish I would be 2 days from retirement. :<
But then again, what would I do then?
Knit. I'd definitely pick up knitting. :p
This is awesome!, I like the idea of homesteading but I don't know if I'm home study material anymore... It was a great read.
Thanks! Very happy to hear you enjoyed it! :D
We'll see how that idea of homesteading turns out :p I'd think it's more their last resort, really... they are both killers by heart.
This is getting so good! I love the twist of conspiracy going on. SOOO curious to see how they fare...do you know yet, or are you making it up as you go along? Or a little of both?
Makin' it up on the go :p So I'm as curious as you to see where all this leads :P
This is an excellent ongoing tale you're spinning. Today's prompt might offer a different challenge. If you're game...😈
To celebrate freewrite number ✴💯✴
we have a special challenge to go along with today's prompt. Good luck and have fun! 🎈🎉
Day 100 - 5 Minute Freewrite Prompt: It was Saturday morning...
