Write a short story, 500 words or more, and post it by Saturday, November 8th in this thread.
Genre: Western.
Cross-pollinating genres is fine, and the tone can be anything you want.
Edited to add:
Really great stuff so far. And if you're working on something, or thinking about it, don't sweat the deadline.

Ordering a sarsaparilla is very cowboy. What the hell is wrong with you?

I don't even have an idea yet. I just went ahead and started writing anyway.

That is what I am doing, too. So far, so good.
Can I have a sarsaparilla please?

If Monk's stupid rules are to be followed, Tuna just disqualified herself.

Good idea. Maybe this will give me an idea for a comic. It sucks that Firefly kind of wrecked the space western for everyone else, though.

Well, there's not a whole lot of that floating around, so we should all be safe.

Is there any room for a straightforward redemption story?
