Sound of gunfire

the long version

He was only an eighteen-year-old greenhorn when he saw too much. Now they had to stop him talking one way or another. So he went on the run. For twelve long years he ran a long way and found a new life following the Texas cattle trails. But it wasn't far enough. The woman he had wronged found him and all that long-held bitterness had turned to hatred. Then the vultures swooped and he was running for his life again ... from the sound of gunfire.
