Hello Stan.
This appears to be a "mystery in the dark." There are certainly some questions as to what happened and what I find interesting is as Ruth was clearly prepared to turn herself over to the sheriff, he declined to handcuff her. The demise of the bounty hunter will need to be defined to see where the sheriff goes from there. Your storytelling works well.

I'm hoping Luke gets to raise the daughter. I do like this story; a lot and you're doing a great job writing it.

The sheriff wasn't about to mince words while waiting for his deputy to give him more details. "We found his horse wandering through town." (details,)

"That won't be necessary," Said Clayburn. (said)

Cody answered. "It looks like he may have fallen in the darkness (answered,)

I really enjoyed how this chapter creates a tense atmosphere. The dialogue between Luke and the sheriff feels real. I could really sense the weight of the situation. It's clear Ruth's been through a lot. The mystery surrounding Ruth and the bounty hunter kept me hooked. Great job building the tension! It's an interesting story!

Hi Stan,
I'm not sure why this posted twice, but things can get crazy around these parts. I hope it gets worked out. I'll say, again, how much I enjoyed your chapter. It is different, which I like. You've built in several levels and that adds interest.

Take care,
Rhonda

A well written chapter. I guess Ruth had no other option of escape or that running was no way to live.

notes:

"That won't be necessary," Said Clayburn.

-"That won't be necessary," said Clayburn.
