Imitation Of Life by Ellie
Jimmy stood nervously in the corner of the doctor’s office, his eyes flickering from the small woman seated on the examination table, her blue dress open slightly at the throat, towards the doctor examining her. Finally, Dr. Martin straightened. |

Who Hesitates Is A Damn Fool by Sameena
And now she was here. Maybe she was being given a second chance at happiness. Or at least finding someone she could care about. She would not repeat the same mistakes, she vowed. This time she would take chances.

A Barren
Future by Mercy
The revelation hadn’t left either Kid or Lou indifferent. The shock of stumbling on the boys’
estranged father had made Louise practically speechless and she had hardly said a word since
then. Though disconcerted by the discovery, Kid had been able to get over the initial surprise
and managed to talk to Mr. Martin in civil terms. He had introduced his wife and himself to the
man and had spoken to him for a few minutes even though the situation made him feel awkward
and uncomfortable.

All That I Can Do by Ellie
Seated out on the way station porch, Jimmy, Buck and Teaspoon glanced up as Kid rode up and handed the mailbag off to Cody, then dismounted, walking toward them awkwardly holding his arm. “You okay, Kid?” called Rachel, who was passing by with a basket of clean clothes from the line.
Kid grimaced a little. “I’ve been better, Rachel,” he mumbled. They all noticed at the same time; there was an arrow broken off but still stuck in Kid’s upper arm.

For Lou by Ellie
Teaspoon, Rachel, and the other riders looked up in alarm as they saw Kid ride in on Katy wearily, with something rolled up in a blanket and tied on the back of the horse. Kid’s clothes were streaked with blood and his face looked ten years older than when he had ridden out the afternoon before. |

In Their Names by Ellie (part III of a serie)
Rachel Dunne smiled companionably at her friend Kid as they strolled towards his farmhouse from the town hall. Kid had given his ‘daughter’ Theresa away at her wedding today. Kid had offered to walk Rachel back to her house, but now remarked, “Long as we’re going that way, Rachel, there’s something I meant to bring to the wedding today to give you. Mind stopping with me at my place for it?” |

A Barren
Future by Mercy
Lou walked along Rock Creek's main street and like every
day she headed straight for the small building which housed the telegraph
and the post office. Mrs. Peterson, the lady running the place, was
at the door, sweeping the walkway before the small office. Lou thought
ruefully that life in this town had really changed since the war broke
out. When the men had gone to fight, many women had to take over their
men's jobs and responsibilities.

Thank
You Word by Wendy
Marshal Sam Cain stood motionless in the dusty street and took careful
aim at Red Bardo. It was an action that reacquired little deliberation
on his part, yet he was having trouble keeping his focus on the man before
him. All he was seeing was Emma Shannon’s beautiful brown eyes pleading
with him to help her as the miscreant held a gun to her head. He pushed
down his concern for her because he could not afford to let it distract
him. Emma’s life depended on him keeping focused.

Have
A Little Faith by Wendy
Louise McCloud stormed out of the bunkhouse, her dark eyes flashing,
and pixyish features determinedly set. She mounted her horse, Lightning,
in one fluid motion and grabbed the mochilla from Buck Cross’s hand.
The Kiowa shouted a greeting as he reined in his own steed and dismounted.
Lou’s only response was a cloud of dust as she spurred her horse
into motion.

We
Owe It All To Yesterday by Wendy
He had faced many things over the years that would have buckled most
men under, but somehow he always managed to pull himself together. Having
to come back to the place in which his Pony Express family had been started
and bury his surrogate father was something he didn’t think he would
survive. |

A
New Beginning In Rock Creek by Wendy
It was a warm spring day. The sky overhead was a cerulean blue with powder
puff clouds sprinkled sporadically across it. Early morning sunlight cast
down its warming rays, awakening the creatures below to a brand new day.
Four young women bustled about a small campground, preparing the first
meal of the day, tending to horses, rolling up blankets, and packing items
into the back of a wagon. |

Angel
In her Face by Wendy
It had been a long time since ‘Wild Bill’ Hickok visited
Sweetwater. As he rode through the center of town, he took note of the
growth which had occurred during his absence. The one time frontier town
that he fondly remembered had evolved into a bustling community.

All
I Have To Offer Is Me by Wendy
Marshal Teaspoon Hunter left the jailhouse in the capable hands of his
deputy Barnett Hamilton, and walked slowly across the dusty street toward
Rachel Dunne’s house. He knew the vivacious redhead would be holding
dinner for him, but still he couldn’t seem to make his feet move
any faster. He was going to ask her to marry him.

Funny,
Familiar, Forgotten Feelings by Wendy
Rachel Dunne fastened the last of the hairpins into place within the
strands of her red hair and then gazed critically into the mirror at reflection.
The crisp white shirt waist and green skirt flattered her slender figure
and brought out the color of her eyes. She knew she was acting as foolish
as a schoolgirl, but she didn’t care. |

This
Ole House by Wendy
Louise Kidrickson cautiously made her way up the broken steps to the
two story clapboard house which used to belong to Emma Shannon. Her heart
ached to see it in such a state of disrepair. In the five years that it
had stood empty, the elements had taken their toll on it. The vibrant
yellow paint had dulled, chipping and peeling away from the wooden structure
like faded bandages unraveling from around a decaying body. |

Who Hesitates Is A Damn Fool by Sameena
“Please,” Cody beseeched Jimmy, “you owe me,”
he added as he followed his friend to the bunkhouse table. No one else
was around; thus Cody had taken this opportunity to ask his friend for
a favor. One little favor and Jimmy was balking.
“I owe you?” Jimmy exclaimed loudly. “Who covers for
you each time you need to get rid of a run? Who lent you the money you
needed last week? Who -”
