  • Pernell
  • Purell
  • was
  • a
  • hired
  • gun
  • that
  • some
  • claimed
  • had
  • a
  • draw
  • faster
  • than
  • the
  • eye
  • could
  • see.
  • When
  • he
  • turned
  • to
  • whiskey
  • and
  • beer,
  • he
  • became
  • downright
  • mean
  • and
  • impossible
  • to
  • control. He'd
  • been
  • hired
  • by
  • an
  • unknown
  • client
  • who'd
  • left
  • a
  • letter
  • and
  • money
  • beneath
  • the
  • door
  • of
  • his
  • hotel
  • room,
  • with
  • instructions
  • to
  • go
  • to
  • the
  • town
  • of
  • Lost
  • Bend
  • and
  • initiate
  • a
  • gunfight
  • between
  • himself
  • and
  • a
  • rancher
  • by
  • the
  • name
  • of
  • Tom
  • Holly.
  • The
  • reason?
  • The
  • client
  • wanted
  • Holly's
  • ranch,
  • cheap. But,
  • Purell
  • soon
  • learned
  • that
  • not
  • everything
  • is
  • as
  • cut
  • and
  • dry,
  • black
  • or
  • white,
  • as
  • life
  • sometimes
  • leads
  • you
  • to
  • believe.
  • Not
  • long
  • after
  • reaching
  • Lost
  • Bend,
  • he
  • realized
  • that
  • Tom
  • Holly
  • was
  • better
  • as
  • a
  • friend
  • than
  • another
  • notch
  • on
  • his
  • gun.
  • When
  • Tom's
  • daughter
  • is
  • murdered
  • by
  • her
  • husband,
  • hired
  • by
  • the
  • same
  • man
  • who
  • wanted
  • the
  • Holly
  • ranch,
  • Purell
  • finds
  • himself
  • putting
  • his
  • guns
  • to
  • a
  • different
  • use—bringing
  • justice
  • instead
  • of
  • hired death.
