Chapter 2
Chapter 3
The road ahead of them was slowly getting dimmer as the sun was setting, yet the two remained completely silent.
With only about 15 minutes of sunlight left, James and Tom noticed a figure in the distance next to a tree. As they rode closer they could make out the figure of a man picking something from a tree – the first human they have encountered since they began their journey. They looked at each other and decided to greet the man and ask if they could spend the night anywhere nearby instead of out in the open.
“Hey! Hey!” The man waved at them to stop. “Where are you headed?”
“East. Why?” James wasn’t the person to hide his intentions, so he spoke the truth – using as little words as possible, as usual. If he wouldn’t let them continue James wouldn’t hesitate to send a bullet up his skull.
“You don’t want to go there, trust me.” They could both feel the fear in the man’s voice.
“Why? What’s up ahead?” Tom jumped in and answered before James could. He wanted to get as much information as possible without telling anything about their mission or the dome, so he played dumb.
“Nothing good. Why are you headed east anyway?” The mysterious man grew suspicious. He rested his right hand on his revolver and took a bite of the apple he picked moments prior to the gunslinger’s arrival.
“Hunting.” James caught up with Tom’s plan and decided to join in. “You know, some father and son quality time.” James eased up and even smiled when he said that. He, too, was now interested in what the man had to say.
