Clear Stone, Wyoming: THE TRAVELER #4

By J.C. Hulsey

The deputy sheriff had a craggy face with scraggly black hair and mustache. He had his chair leaned back and his arms folded around his rotund belly. His boots were plopped up on the desk as if everything was right in the world.
"What can I do for you, stranger?"
"My name is Jed Jenkins. I'm here to find out what you're planning on doing about those hooligans and ruffians that are coming to your town? Your people are going to be tormented and terrorized by them. They have no morals at all and don't care who they hurt."
“I don't want to get killed. Besides they'll be moving on in a couple days. Or they might just ride straight through after they have a drink"
"Who elected you deputy?"
"No one. The sheriff was elected. He hired me. I work for him."
"Where is the sheriff?"
"He's out of town delivering a prisoner to Hayes City. Won't be back for a week or so."
"So you're just going to sit there and let those men take over the town and possibly kill someone?"
"As I told you, I plan on living long enough to see my kids grow up."
I looked him in the eye. "I would recommend you turn in your badge and find something else to do.

J.C. Hulsey

I really can't explain how or why I write. It's like an explosion in my brain and the words come flowing out like a raging river and then other times like a frozen glazier. I wrote a twenty-eight page booklet of poetry over the course of two days and nights. I mention nights because as soon as my head hits the pillow, it's like a switch goes off in my brain and I have to write. J.C. Hulsey J.C. Hulsey has lived in Midlothian, Texas for thirty years. He's a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He has been married for 56 years. He enjoys Western movies and TV Shows, (especially the older ones) and reading about Mail-Order Brides. He is also the owner of six cats (all stray cats, showed up on the back porch) and one dog (rescue dog) He worked for 33 years at Bell Helicopter. He served in the USAF for five years, and the Air National Guard for four years. He has always wanted to be an author. He started writing songs in his early twenties. He recorded a couple of songs in the late 1960s. He started writing poetry in the 1970s to share with others. He self-published them on Amazon in 2013. He still felt the need to write something different. He tried writing a book in the 1970s, but it was never finished. In 2014, he felt the urge to write a western novel. However, he needed something different than what was on the market. What about a young Christian Gunfighter? He now has 44 books on Amazon.com
