Nicely descriptive and biblical in it's payoff. An enjoyable revenge tale.
Well done.

Liking the historical setting - not budget friendly but different and I do appreciate a western. Might be you could have updated to a modern setting with a similar concept?  Very well written with a simple story that feels more complete than most.  A little stock perhaps but nicely done.

Enjoyed this one, reads nicely though I'm not convinced about the dream sequence.

Being picky, they eye are kind incidental, but they are there.

Good job.

Writer,

Nice job, but on page 3 you kinda lost me. Or I lost you. Was Wade waking from a dream, only to realize he really was getting killed? That's what I got from this, and if that's the case it didn't really work from me, because why not tell the story as the hooded person approaches and end it with that confrontation as opposed to a dream? If thats what happened. But I could be wrong. Sorry if this one went past me.

Steve

Nice writing. The story of frontier justice didn't really bring anything new to the table... or bench. I kind of wish there was some extra element to this to either pay off the Chelsea scene or make it different from a simple vigilante story. Good work with setting up the atmosphere and characters, though.

Very solid script. Enjoyed this one. I have sort of a thing for period pieces.

Hi writer,

Lucky last!!!!! F@#k yeah!

A western, the bane of my existence (genre wise that is )

Good writing and dialogue and a pretty decent tale as well, I think you set this up to end a different way, and I would have preferred that.

Not bad though.

All the best.

Great work. Shades of Unforgiven with the prostitutes seeking revenge angle. Good to have a Western in the mix.


That rug really tied the room together.

Thanks for the reviews everyone! Like my round 1 entry, I wrote this in a rush which didn’t allow me to work out the kinks.

The idea was that the Sheriff was actually going to put Wade on the train to St. Louis where he would stand trial, but the prostitutes intercepted and he made the decision to allow them to do vigilante justice…because he believed what Wade said about him probably walking and not even standing trial.

The dream sequence was supposed to show what the Sheriff said about the mind being a prison…like Wade wouldn’t be able to escape what he did because his mind wouldn’t let him.

Finally…I should have ended with the train whistle, showing the train was actually coming but they opted to take care of Wade themselves. I did rewrite this, with a tweaked ending showing that and a few other changes. When Don has a chance, he'll post the rewrite.

Thanks again!
