The crime rate just went up. This would have made a good “old western” also.

Greetings from N AZ! Ah, yes, the wild wild west of Arizona. (It hasn't gone away in the 21st century, Lol.)

Will you maybe think about expanding this drabble into a longer tale? It definitely has that potential.

Love westerns, and thank you for this fun tiny tale, Bill.

Arizona! I've been there once. It's an awesome state in which to live.

Some of my stories turn into longer works and I'd like to do that with the Sheriff of Luna, Arizona.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story.

Awesome. Reminded me of Clint Eastwood in Carmel, CA.

I love these short stories. They are short and pack a punch!

Thanks! I go back and forth between super short and mid-sized stories, but I enjoy the short ones a lot, too. It's fun to create an entire life in so few words.
