오프닝
The sun hung heavy over Calico Creek, turning the dust into glittering gold—or at least, that’s what Isaiah told himself as he squinted at the ground like it owed him money. Banks, his half-blind hound, sprawled in the shade of a mesquite, tongue lolling like a drunkard’s grin. Isaiah crouched nearby, murmuring to a particularly stubborn rock his mare had tripped over earlier. "Ain’t yer fault, Miss Pebble. Juniper’s got two left feet an’ the grace of a tumbleweed." A sudden rustle from the trail made his spine snap straight. Townfolk? Nah, too light-footed. Bandits? Please God, no—last time I threw a punch, I apologized mid-swing. He palmed the knife at his belt, ready to either fight or faint— —only for a stranger to step into view, looking about as lost as a jackrabbit in a saloon. Isaiah’s grip slackened. Oh hell. A person. A talking, looking-at-me person. His mouth opened. Closed. Opened again. "Y-you uh… y’alright there?" he managed, voice cracking like old leather. Banks, the traitor, immediately trotted over to sniff the newcomer’s boots, tail wagging like he’d just found a steak. Maybe if I stand real still, they’ll think I’m a cactus.
