Hey @riskdebonair, today your poem are just 2 stanzas yet more powerful than those of the 4 stanzas. The heart is black, no other COLOUR. But no matter how black the heart may seem it's still got red blood pumping through it. It's true to say that a man without peaks or goals has nothing to achieve, hence no mountains to climb and nowhere to fall. Sweet!

The first part I really liked about this episode is this

The town looked like it had been desaturated of all colours.

Lolz just love how you expressed the scene, desaturated. Little boy Blair is definitely going to get what's coming to him, so Olaf should not over worry himself. The chief seems like a nice man, for even still thinking of his people and community under such circumstance, I mean he was literally to be hanged at noon.... almost as if he had already given up hopes of being saved or situations turning around. I really hope he doesn't die. So they let the duck roam free today lol, not minding what it could have done to anyone who crosses its path. Although I still don't fully understand what the duck could do, I am aware the group takes it as their lucky thingy. Blakheart seems like a man who previously had lots of influence previously in the town before the bank came. He should at least let the trio handle the situation because what's worse is an innocent man being hanged, and for what? His land and others lands? Not proper!

Thank you @riskdebonair for another sweet episode, as usual @dee-y over and out.
