Shotgun Charlie (2015)
“After hours of fruitless mental groping, the only conclusion he came to was to regretfully heed Pap Morton’s advice.
Judging from the hard snores of Simp, Mex, Ace, and Dutchy—he had no idea where Grady was, nor did he much care—Charlie doubted his leaving would be noticed. He made only slight rustlings as he gathered his meager bits of gear, which consisted of a few extra pieces of clothing, his old, much-repaired saddlebags containing holey socks, a tin cup, a few odds and ends of cooking... implements with which he had been able to cobble together a campfire meal, and scraps of leather and twine he always found useful to have on hand for repairs. He dithered for a long time beside Nub, the broad, tall workhorse Charlie had ridden since Pap and the boys came along.
Should he ride out on Nub? Pap had said several times to him that the horse was his. But was it really? Did that mean he’d given the horse to Charlie as a gift? One friend to another?MoreLess
