An Old Time Western

His pa died from snakebite when he was four. It was just him and his ma until Ike Sanders came to Deep Water. Most riders drifted away after a day or two but Ike stayed on. He invested in the town, started a newspaper and took an interest in Johnny. When Johnny was fifteen Ike hired him on as an apprentice, and ma stopped working at the Lucky 7 Saloon each time a cattle drive came through. Life was pleasant. Then The Kid came to town and everything changed. A long-ago secret connected Ike and The Kid, a secret the feared gunfighter wasn't about to let go.
