This book is a compilation of realism and phantasm, an attempt to shed light on what appears to be mundane and yet could turn macabre, but for small twists of fate... an entertaining concept for those who wonder, "What if..." Obviously, the names of characters were changed to protect the guilty, but parts of the story were based on a reflection of my past... hopefully, not on my future! I’ve been blessed in life to be a husband, a father, a boxer, a safecracker, and a gunfighter. Certain facets of my resume are reflected as the storyline unfolds. Young Willie MacAyne was seemingly born with a desire to "send lead down range" and to show the world his prowess with guns and brains. He had more talent and ambition than could be contained with parameters. With age, he came to be very fast with his wit and weapons. Each, at times, bring him back to the brink of disaster.
