           “   you’ll   be   happy   t’know   i   just   scored   us   a   shitload   of   money,   and   hunted   a   monster   deer   for   camp.”   he   gloats   proudly,   entering   dutch’s   tent   and   sitting   next   to   him,   “   yer   welcome.   ”   he   says   with   a   cheeky   grin,   “   so,   do   i   get   award   for   being   such   a   good   boy?”   he   smiled   mischievously   while   loosening   his   collar   from   around   his   neck.

Was he snooping in Dutch’s tent? Maybe. He picked up a familiar looking book, turned it over, and flipped through it real fast. “I remember this book. You used to read it for me n’ John. Or for John, when you taught him how to read. I just..liked to sit with chu’ and listen. Good ol days, Dutch.”

“   i   meant   no   disrespect.   ”   amos   held   his   hands   up   as   defense,   taking   a   few   steps   back,   “   i   just   reckon   my   brother   oughta   sit   in   a   cell   long   enough   to   know   better   next   time,   that’s   all.   ”

                    uncertainty  began  to  root  when  the  headless  kieran  rolled  in    &    time  only  brought  blossom ,    for  concerns  were  voiced  by  both  morgan    &    marston .    thoughts  were  played  on  repeat    &    though  intentions  were  pure ,    it  seemed  that  these  worries  fell  upon  deft  ears .    she’d  watched  each  of  their  attempts  fall  flat ,    their  loyalty  paid  with  venomous  spats .    the  widow  prayed  for  exhaustion ,    but  it  seemed  that  the  blind  was  leading  the  pack  into  fire .

                       dust    &    pebbles  were  kicked  about ,    arms  crossed  tightly  beneath  her  bosom .     marigold  light  painted  scrunched  up  features ,    sunset  casting  deep  shadows  across  the  land .    their  eyes  met  for  only  a  fraction  of  a  second ,    but  a  conversation  had  ensued  within  the  edges  of  their  irises .    conversation  with  grimshaw  was  closed  up    &    soon  his  presence  was  noted  by  her  side ,    both  staring  out  at  the  canyon .    dread  swirled  about  in  the  pit  of  her  stomach ,    for  there  is  nothing  enjoyable  about  the  disappointment  that  was  bound  to  come ,    but  she  prayed  that  he  would  listen  to  reason .    a  deep  sigh  passed  sadie’s  lips ,    shoulders  rolling  down .    ❛   dutch ,    do  ya  ever  feel  lost ?    ❜

                   flames  grew  within  lungs ,    throat  stripped  entirely  of  moisture .    her  voice  was  hoarse    &    weak ,    raw  with  overuse .    tongue  darted  out  to  sooth  tooth  sized  gashes  along  her  lower  lip ,    the  taste  of  copper  bittersweet .    gaze  remained  fixated  upon  vacant  orbs ,    vermillion  creeping  up  from  a  matted  beard    &    up  weathered  skin .    blade  remained  lodged  into  the  o’driscoll’s  chest ,    sitting  loosely  in  the  deep  hole  she’d  carved  between  ribs .   

                        the  deafening  drum  of  her  heart  muted  calls ,    reality  snapping  back  when  heavy  hands  were  placed  upon  trembling  shoulders .    instinct  kicked  in    &    sadie  was  blinded ,    reaching  for  the  knife  still  coated  in  blood .    a  ferocious  scream  slipped ,    weapon  raised ,    but  fingers  caught  her  wrists .    booming  voice  warranted  silence ,    then  realization .    strength  dissipated  in  those  seconds ,    for  the  monster  within  was  brought  into  full view ,    staring  back  at  her  in  his  eyes .     

                        ❛    dutch ,    i            ❜    the  other  shook  his  head ,    whispering  a  mantra  over    &    over  again .    just  breathe .

“It’s weird. I never thought I could feel like this, but you showed up. Now, it’s like I don’t wanna go on knowing I might lose the feeling.”

        amos   stared   at   dutch   longingly,   he   feels   𝐇𝐈𝐒   𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓   𝐏𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆,   and   it   sounds   a   whole   lot   louder   in   his   head.   before   now   he   wasn’t   too   sure.   he   knew   in   his   heart   that   dutch   loved   him   the   way   𝐇𝐄   𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐃   𝐃𝐔𝐓𝐂𝐇,   but   something   was   holding   him   back   and   telling   him   that   he   wasn’t   allowed   to   go   any   further   than   where   he   was.   perhaps   it   was   the   feelings   he   still   had   for   his   late   wife   that   made   him   scared   of   falling   further.   having   someone   you   love   taken   away   hurts   more   than   them   leaving.   amos   bit   his   bottom   lip,   his   eyes   breaking   away   from   dutch   to   the   floor   of   the   tent.   “   i…   ”   he   begins,   but   the   words   get   caught   in   his   throat,   

       “   love   is   a   funny   feeling…   ain’t   it?   ”   he   chuckled   breathlessly,   his   eyes   finding   their   way   back   to   dutch.   he   adorned   a   soft   smile   before   reaching   to   take   dutch’s   hand   in   his   own,   “   turns   men   into   fools,   don’t   it?   ”   he   gave   his   lover’s   hand   a   light   squeeze   before   bringing   it   to   his   mouth   to   kiss,   “   i   love   you,   dutch…   more   than   i’d   like   to   confess…   i   can’t   take   losing   someone   i   love   again—i   know   you   understand   better   than   most   do…   ”   𝐓𝐇𝐄   𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓   had   a   way   of   getting   between   feeling   and   altering   judgement   made   for   the   future.   perhaps   that   was   just   the   learning   experience   it   had   to   share,   but   it   wasn’t   a   life   lesson   he   wanted   to   repeat   on   any   account.   amos   sighed   deeply   and   smiled   longingly   at   dutch,   more   afraid   than   he   had   ever   been   in   his   entire   life,   “   i   don’t   wanna   lose   you.   ”   his   voice   cracked   from   the   emotions   he   felt.
