This story started in chat (complete with typos). Let's see it continue here. Anyone can jump in at any time. If two people post at once, the first one to post stays. Have fun and how long will this last? Please limit self to 3 paragraphs max.
Gather round as we share the tale of the gHostie that was here. Run out of town by a herd of cow and never seen again. The gHostie was an honorable one, as straight as they ever come. But the villian who drove the herd was up to no good. He was a wiry man with an air about him of trouble...
It was midday and the Sun beat down on the Adobe Houses like a hammer. As He drew water from the well, he suddenly saw three figures emerge from the shimmering heat. The one in the lead liiked like he was mounted on a Pony, then he realized he WAS on a Horse, he was just big! As big as a Bull and twice as ugly. The two who rode with him were typical looking for Mexicans - except, he realised, they were both femal and both riding with drawn Winchesters!!
The lead's name was Bullbound and he was looking for trouble. He rode his horse up to the gHostie and said, "You're to leave by sundown." The two females nodded and drew out their guns. The gHostie said nothing but looked shocked. Finally he said, "What did you say?" "Leave by sundown or I'll make ya," he repeated. "How?" "I have my ways."
But the gHostie knew better and Bullbound was a fool to think this gHostie would be easily run out of town. For he had wandered into the town of G&S where Sharon reigned supreme. "Try your best," was the gHosties reply as she slowly shimmered out of view. "I'll be back," shouted Bullbound to the empty air as he and his cohorts rode off. "Come along QRM and Kugai," was the last that would be heard from this desperado of the desert who had just entered a world of mystery and surprises. Welcome to...The Twilight Zone.
They turned and froze! The gHostie had reappeared but now he was backed by his companions. Standing behind him, and armed to the teeth stood Shani The 'Roo, Lily, Scott, Ian the Evil (Backed by his Twin Sidekicks) and the deadlyest of the lot, JJ The Mouse! "Ya want trouble here, ya sure picked the people ta pick it with!"
Bullbound turned his horse around and smiled a toothy grin. "Wha' if I am pick trouble 'ere? Wha' r you going' do 'bout it?" "We'll do wha'ever we 'ave to," Scott said. he drew some sort of weapon out, but Bullbound couldn't identify it. "Kugai, fight 'm!" Kugai rode forward and shot Scott, but it just went right through him. "Wha' kind o' twisted world have we entered?!" Bullbound asked. "The Twilight Zone," JJ the mouse said in his most threatening voice. "Now, ya still want trouble 'ere?"
Bullbound was no quitter by nature and the gHosties knew this better than he did. As he reached for his six shooter, he felt something funny around his lips. AS he went to brush them to get rid of the irritant, he felt the silvery string of a spider's webbing as it sealed his mouth shut. Enraged more than ever, Bullbound drew his gun and shot at the creatures in front of him. All to no avial. Bullbound was stumped and turned his horse to flee. Little did he see the small cat that jumped in his saddlebags named Socksie. For unbeknownst to Bullbound, Kugai, and QRM, they had stumbled upon a war reaching through the ages. One of gHostie and passerby. Back in the hills, seemingly safe in a cave, the three desperadoes found the remains of other parties, but no bodies anywhere.
"Dang!" said Bullbound. "Ya know, I git the strangest feeling we ain't in New Mexico anymore!!" "Your right my friend" said a mysterious voice from nowhere. Thre three jumped up and, with aprihensive faces and Smith & Wesson Magnums (which had mysteriously replaced their Colts) in theie hands, looked about. "Who are ya??!!" There was a sudden bright flash of lifht and a man dressed in a strange, tight fitting red and black outfit appeared. "Who am I?!" he said, an amused tome in his deep. cultured voice. "Why I'm the person who brought you here!" He bowed mockingly and introduced himself. "I am Q!"
"Q? Wha' kind o' name is 'at?" QRM said, infuriating Q. A few moments later, where QRM had just been standing, there was a hen. "Anyone else have a problem with my name?" Q asked, looking sternly at the other two. They both shook their heads 'no'. "Good, then. Anyone in the mood for fried chicken?" They shook their heads as Q picked up the chicken that was QRM. "All right then, we'll just see how you feel later." There was a moments pause as a chair appeared and Q sat in it. then Bullbound spoke. "Wha' r we doin' ere? Why'd ya brung us 'ere?" "Isn't it obvious? It's punishment for threatening a gHostie."
