Mark as done to rate
The saloon and shops are closing up; people are starting to come out of their homes; the town is gathering, and the crowds are getting louder. You can hear excitement building outside. The gallows creak as the hangman paces back and forth. Tom Jackson, the sheriff, is making history: he’s the man that finally caught you and your gang. While he speaks to the growing mass of townsfolk, warming them up for your execution, you know that you have to hurry if you’re going to live past the next hour. What the sheriff doesn’t know, is that one of his guards is on your payroll and has left you clues to escape.
