The Old Ranger

THIS IS A SHORT STORY. 

Chuck Nielson hung up his six shooter and retired from the Texas Rangers ten years ago, at one time the fastest draw west of the Mississippi. He loves two things, his wife and his ranch. 

Now the Sunset Kid is in town. He’s killed seven men—all seven died with the sun in their eyes. Chuck is number eight and the Kid has sent word for him to be in the town street at sunset. 

If Chuck meets the Kid, he risks everything; if he stays home he loses his self-respect, and the Kid goes on killing. 

This is a short story by Donald L. Robertson, the author of Logan’s Word: A Logan Family Western - Book 1.
