Wild West - Part 5


“I know why you left us.”

“You don’t know shit, Tom. I had to leave.” James paused for a second. “I didn’t want you to live a life like mine. It was the only way, Tom. I had to leave you and Susanne.”

“I understand, and I would have done the same.”

“Why are you here then? Scram! I don’t want you here!” James yelled at his son again.

“I’ve come to tell you I’m following in your footsteps. I tried to fight against it, I really did, but no matter how hard I tried I was always the odd one out. I was quieter than other kids. But stronger and more agile, too. No matter how much bigger the other guy was, I always knew how to strike him down. I know you wanted to protect me, father. I know you did. But I inherited it. It is your legacy. As it will be mine.”

James stared at Tom for a few moments, trying to get a good luck at his son. It was the first time he had seen him after all. And there was no denying they were related. Tom had James’ great-grandpa’s nose.

It was then that James realized the real reason behind Tom’s visit.
