15,013. TEMPESTUOUS DOMAIN

TEMPESTUOUS DOMAIN 
JOLLY RANCHER
The man in the saddle was dead
three days, and the horse just kept
roaming around. Some rancher found
them out on the range. Jolly at that.
Coming in as a small posse, the four
friends he'd rounded up had little to
say. They'd never guided in a dead
man before. The Undertaker knew
just what to do and, except for the
deep coating of dust, was able to
determine (so he said) the time
of death : 'Three days dead.'
-
I was watching, from a distance.
And only I knew the truth, and
the real time of death.
