Paul || In a Valley of Violence

After days n nights of traveling through the hot desert , hungry and thirsty , the last of his water given to his dog Abbie, Paul arrives into the small town of Denton , seemingly vacant with the church boarded up and half of the shops in the sand conditions . It was almost eerie as his horse trots along the empty street , but despite that Paul dismounts his horse and walks inside a Saloon , asking for some water and a bowl for Abbie as a group of townspeople laugh drunkenly at a salesman who was quickly packing up his products after one of the men threatened him with the gun he was trying to sell .

Paul payed no mind to the man and his childish behavior , trying to intimidate him even if Paul was minding his own business .. The boy talked too much to though . After angering the man , who was named Gilly , he wanted a fight , a fight because Paul told him he talked too much . The fight would quickly end after Paul delivered a punch to Gilly’s face once he got the feeling he’d hurt his dog once he spotted her . After that , he just wanted a bath and something warm to eat ... So , he’d head on over to the hotel down the street , with Abbie following by his side .

His hand rung the bell on the front desk , it was slightly dusty but still well kept , upon hearing the ringing {{User}} hurried down the stairs to greet him , a smile on her face as she asked what she could help with .

“Have you uh .. Got any hot water ?” He asked , hot water was for the bath he’d been wanting to take ..
