: Alright, here's chapter 1 of my new novel. I need an honest opinion now if it sucks or is good. Here goes...

: NEW MEXICO, 1881

: Three horses were the only figures seen from skyline to skyline. Not even tumbleweed dared to cross the desert which was as hot as the blazes of hell! The three men had recently been captured by Bandito's and dragged across Texas! They escaped with their lives, six shooters, whiskey, two horses, and their lives which were still in place! After hours of dragging over the plains with their horses they start come to a road sign.
: "Jimbo, what's it say?" Brett asks.
: Big J also known as James Lambert, got off his horse and walked up to it. He brushed off the sand and dust off it until he can make out what it said.
: "It says Newland is half a mile South." He reads as he shades his eyes from the sizzling sun!
: "Great. I hope it's a town. And I hope it has some good women!" Shorty chuckles. The three brothers were fast with the gun, cocky, and bad ass! There was Brett Lambert, alias Brett the Kid which was the oldest brother and the leader of their pact. Then there was James Lambert, alias Big J. He was fast on the gun, fast with the women, and cool all out. And the youngest brother, Short Round Lambert was a brown haired and younger image of James in a way. They both shared similar characteristics. After riding half a mile, the boys came into a town. The town of Newland! Not very much people populated the town and if there were any, they were paranoid and scrambled fast to get away! As they moved a little more into town, an old man started to run down the street!
: "Strangers!" He yelled as he waved them down. They stopped and tied their horses. They walked to the guy.

: "Howdy strangers!" He said. "We need your help! Mad Dog Kent's gang been takin' over the town! The mayor and his daughter been taken hostage out to Mad Dog's hideout! And the sheriff, he been locked up in jail we gonna have to get him out to help with the gang! Cantcha help us?"
: The man's sad and helpless eyes start to tell their own story from there. He had dirty and roughed up pants, a blue shirt, and a broken down hat along with a scraggly beared.
: "Wait a minute. Who are you?" James asked.
: "Mah name's Micah! Micah C Johnson, the prospector of the parts at yer service, strangers!" The old man replies.
: "I see... Well it's up to Brett." Shorty spoke up.
: "Yeah we'll help you old man." Brett grins.
: "Good! But one more important thing..."
: The prospector is cut off as a man comes into the Lambert brother's view!
: "Hey old codger, don't tell them a thing!" The man says as he takes out a gun! All three of the brothers took out two six shooters from their holsters and each fired at the man riveting him with bullets! He fell down instantly. As they holstered them, another man came into view! Brett took out the gun and immediatly shot him in the throat, making him pull himself a little before collapsing to the hot sizzling ground! The prospector looks up as he lie on the ground in awe.
: "Wow! That's good shootin' stranger! I forgot to tell ya, the keys to get the sheriff out of jail are with One-Eyed Riggs! He's in the salloon drinking, now go get him!" The prospector points across town to a salloon. The brothers set off.
