She was never much of a town.A town?Yes, by name only I suppose.A few shacks here are there.Anything ever happen there?Not much, I heard.No gunfights, no hangingsNo nothing.Well, …..I heard Jose died heremurdered by a jealous lover.AndJennifer trampled by a horse.They say checks with the ghosts.How many?Two I am told.Where?In the shacks

.On highway 186, south of Wilcox.So I travel south followingthe heat mirages andled by a dust devil.Two shacks standing I see.Yards populated byrusty tine cans, randomglass bits and charcoal ashes.Glancing inside weatheredwood house a brown bottlesitting on a 2x3 bracea twinkling of light off and on.I inspect.No nameletters on the glassraised, 4370.A cool wind passed by pleasant on this hot and windy day
