053: cheater

All was quiet on the dusty road, aside from the sound of gamblers cheering, booing, and fighting from the town's only saloon. Whatever frail silence was broken, however, when a younger fellow was asked to leave by some locals, as quickly as possible. His exit, marked by the flight of glass shards and playing cards, seemed quite unexpected to the young fellow's way of thinking, especially as he intended to use the much less painful method of the swinging doors.

"And get out of town, you damn city slicker!" a brash voice called after him.

So much for easy money...
