#5 JOSEPH'S GOLD SYNOPSIS
The boy staggered into town just on dark, filthy, half-starved, and delirious. We took him to the infirmary, fed him, cleaned him up, and let him sleep. It wasn’t until I passed his cot the next morning that I noted the glint of gold between his clenched fingers and the fervent look in his eye. Having been through unimaginable suffering in the desolate wilderness, the boy is determined to safeguard his treasure and protect the gold his family needs to survive in this harsh and dangerous place. Desperation, fear, and distrust manifest in this story of the Old West, and it won't end quite how you think. |
