“Come one, come all,
the good Lord has sent me here to rescue you.” A man leaves his home quickly
over an unfortunate incident but where he goes, he never fully understands.
Where he ended up, though, he finally realized. The stories of two men
seemingly lost in time is similar, but traveling in different meanings to what
they thought was life ends up in similar consequences. Bronson leaves home
abruptly and needs to get away. He hikes down a path to escape when a storm
comes up suddenly. Maybe not suddenly, but by the time he tries to escape the
terror, it was too late. He becomes lost. He ends up in a mine and attempts to
get out. The terror of being in a mine and ending up in what turns out to be a
ghost town once terrorized by a man named Davis. Pleading for help in the
seemingly abandoned town, he comes across a mysterious character. When the
terror increases around him as he is introduced to the man, the man’s identity
is later revealed when their ultimate doom ensues. Possibly the two men can
coexist amongst the darkness or maybe they’re deemed to be enemies to one
another in the fight to survive where greed conquers one man and the other, his
loving family.
The reason I wrote this book is I love traveling to
ghost towns and learning the history of the old west. Being able to write about
a fictional ghost town was fun and brought my imagination racing. Placing
myself as the character of Bronson, I could see myself walking down this well-preserved
ghost town. Even though a true ghost town today has little remnants or ruins,
if any, but being fictional I was able to describe a full town. I wish there
were ghost towns as you see on the television or even one that I wrote about in
this work but, unfortunately, over time much of these abandoned towns have
fallen down either due to weather, vandalism, or the lack of care. There is a
catch, though, as to why the town in my novella is how it seems since, well, it
has to do with a twist in the ending of the book. I don’t want to give more
information away to the actual plot than the synopsis in the previous
paragraph. Please check it out if you haven’t done so already! Available now on Amazon and Barnes and Noble!
