Wild Wild SM- Show down

Writerwannba came a runnin’ in a blaze of glory, guns a firin’. He wasn’t looking at where he was going; only where he had been, and ran smack dab into Cheeseliker.

“What in the Sam hill is goin’ on, WWB?” Cheeseliker hollered.

WWB’s eyes darted back in forth as he worked to keep his breath even, “There a comin’, Cheese!” he gasped.

Confused and a little worried, Cheeseliker lifted the brim of his ten gallon hat, wiped the sweat from his brow and graped the frantic WWB by his shoulders, “Speak straight, old man! Ain’t no body a comin’…”

WBScott skedaddled on over and rolled his eyes at Cheese’s need to control the situation. “Who’s a comin, WWB?” he asked gently.

Before he could answer, Honeygloom wondered down the steps of the saloon and interrupted their conversation. “Someones a comin’?”

“Yes’em, Miss Honey…” Writerwannabe stammered, “Them darn over-postin’, ignorant, hollerin’, miserable excuses for writers are headin’ on into your town, ma’am.”

“Cheeseliker shook his head at WWB, “Ain’t nobody gonna mess with your SM Miss Honeygloom, the sheriff and his posses will see to that, or on my grave may it read, ‘I don’t like cheese.’”

Honeygloom placed a steady hand on his shoulder, touched by his braveness, “WBScott, be a dear and go find me my Ace.” Then she headed off towards the Piggly Wiggly.

BazookaJones, one of the faster six shooters in the west, joined the impromptu group, kicking tumbleweeds out his way. He instinctively knew something’ was goin’ down. He hollered out for his gang of roughnecks, “Savaranger, OliverSuddan73, dogdiety11, randomnickname, and theblackhand!”

All the hardened veterans came runnin’ out of the saloon. Theblackhand still buttoning his shirt.

“Getcha guns a ready boys, SM is under attack, and we ain’t havin’ none of it!” BazookaJones yelled to his boys while saddling up his horse as JD_Renaissance ran to join in the action.

All the commotion called several of the townsfolk out. Hebe6405, CloverRose, Ladyvike15, and crystallfoo gathered along the old porch in front of the motel. Alkamyst, Aggeloi, dkk4510, and Katrina walked out of the post office carrying sawed off shot guns.

Dogdiety11 laughed and wondered out loud, “Should we go and warn the crazy old goat of a man, dr3arms?”

“That fool?” Cheeseliker spat on the ground, “He ain’t worth a two dollar bill.”

Honeygloom marched out of the five and dime, WBScott in tow. “Ace is…well his a bit busy ma’ma, but hes a hurryin’.” WBScott announced to, by now, the whole town.

She nodded and did what she did best - took charge. “Katrina, you take those girls and head on up to the roof of the saloon. Stay low and keep an eye on Hebe6405, she’s liable to go heroic on us and get killed.”

The girls kicked up their dresses and took off at a fast pace. Writerwannabe tapped Honey on the shoulder and asked, “Whatcha want me to do Miss?”

Honeygloom smiled, “You, and dkk4510 do what you Texans do best - blow up stuff.”

Dkk4510 lite up like a Christmas tree as she pulled her coat apart, proudly showing off the sticks of dynamite strapped inside.

Ace finally came running out of the motel, LadyLuck right behind him. “I came as fast as I could, just had to finish something’ first…” LadyLuck blushed as she straightened out her hair.

“Well you two are here now I guess, but…where the hell is the sheriff?” Honeygloom demanded.

Aggleoi sat quietly on the water trough, shinning her shell colored pistols, and nodded in the other direction, “I reckon he be on his way.”

Everyone in the town took a collective breath in as the sheriff swung open the jail house doors and sauntered out into the brilliant lime green light of SM.

Sheriff Nashvillebecker stood tall and dangerously. Six guns strapped to both sides of his chest and his thighs. Several of the women at the bar swooned and cooed at the site of him. Katrina and JD-Renaissance fanned their heated faces with their printer paper fans. Ladyvike15 actually fainted into Hebe6405’s arms.

“Quiet down y’all, I think he’s a gonna say something’!” bellowed BazookaJones.

“Yeah, he don’t say much but we he does…man, it’s a thunderstorm.” added Dkk4510 as she quickly worked with WWB, wiring explosives.

Nashvillebecker nodded to dogdiety11 and Aggleoi, “You two come with me. The rest of you scatter, guns ready. Ain’t nobody comin’ in SM messin’ up the peace.”

“Here, here!”

“And ain’t nobody messin’ with my townsfolks.”

“Whoopie!”

“BazookaJones, Cheese and WWB kicked out the last fool that tried something’, kicked him straight into the mountains.”

The three swelled with pride.

“Now some damn fools are dumb ‘nuff to chase WWB into town and stir up a bunch of dusty words? I ain’t havin’ it, I tell ya.”

The sheriff never raised his voice, but everyone respect and took his word for law. They immediately followed orders as Nashvillebecker, dogdiety11 and Aggleoi stood dead center of the only dirt road leading into town, ready and waiting…
