Charon: The Legend of a Gunman

by Chris Okusako

The legendary gunfighter lay in his grave, but his story was far from finished. His seventeen-year-old son, Riley, wore the old man’s signet ring and promised to bear his infamous name until he fulfilled his pa’s last “Live, prosper, and do right by others, and when the stigma attached to my name has passed, then cast aside the name Charon forever, give yourself a real last name, and be reborn.” Riley left his home in the Nations determined to go out and right the wrongs of a world he knew little about and to meet every deadly challenge that his name must conjure up. There would be many because his pa’s name was both feared and hated.All that he had to side him was his horse Mars, his weapons, and the incredible skills to use them. The old Charon name and the legend associated with it began with blood and bullets. That was how it must end. His pa prepared him for this day. Trained him to survive by any means. Made him the best he could be. He taught him how to kill and how to die. The only thing he didn’t teach him was how to live a normal life. That would be left to the town of Peaceful and a young girl as innocent as himself. Together, they would pit themselves against a gang of outlaws bent on his destruction and the ransacking of the town and countryside.The legend of Charon begins anew. From the Nations, to the Rockies, the Roaring Twenties, and the birth of Hollywood Riley was there and he made his mark.
