The Six-Gun Tarot
“Holly Pratt said, laughing. She handed the empty shot glass to the man behind the bar with the unruly whiskers and the one eye that was as milky as a fish’s belly. “In fact, one for everyone!”
A cheer went up through the Mother Lode. The squatters and lowlifes who made up the shanty-bar’s clientele circled the drunken well-dressed lady from the town below like sharks smelling blood.
Holly dumped a wad of crumpled bills onto the rough wooden bar. Milk-Eye reached for them, but Holly refu...sed to release them.
“All the filthy rotgut you have. All of it, all night long. For me and my new friends. Understand?”
The bartender did the crude math in less than a second and placed a full bottle of the homemade mash on the bar with a thud. Holly relinquished the cash and held the bottle aloft like a conquering hero. The drunks and the destitute cheered again for their new champion.
She knew it was night, but she had lost track of the time long ago.MoreLess
