Novel 1978 - the Proving Trail (V5.0)
“I found the hole. Could see it by craning my neck. The bullet had gone through my shoulder, leaving an ugly blue hole where it went in, and it had come out at the back. Tearing my handkerchief, I plugged both holes, barely reaching the one back of my shoulder. The shoulder moved, so I didn’t figure I’d broken any bones, yet I had lost blood. I crawled a little further, following the way that seemed easiest, then stopped. My shoulder was really hurting now, and my throat and mouth were dry. My head felt heavy and my eyes did not seem to focus properly. Shock, maybe, as much as the bullet. What I needed was a hole. Someplace to crawl into, someplace where they couldn’t find me.A shadow crossed my face. I glanced around, then up. A buzzard!They would not have to look for me now.

This is about the 10th "Showdown" that Lamour's imaginations tells him.It won't be the last and I'm already wondering jut how the L'ollonais family seem to have foresight and are always right there before the poor hunted guy.
Maybe they have a crystal ball, or maybe Lamour is stretching imagination like a rubber band.
