Lore of the West
: Last Fight for Glory by fm wright
Dribble Flash Fiction contest entry
Artwork by MoonWillow at FanArtReview.com

Jess directs his focus down the dusty street. His opponent steps out. Jess takes in a deep breath. A heart's beat from now it would be over.

No matter how this gunfight turned out, Jess wouldn't draw his gun again. Both men go for their weapons. A shot rings out.

Author Notes
Though differing in nature, the idea for the ending comes from a poem I read entitled "The Lady and the Tiger," in which the reader was left to decide the ending. Also great appreciation to MoonWillow for the use of this wonderful piece of artwork.
