Time Traveller

Desperately, you charge on after Joe, but you are not a rider by nature and are having difficulty staying on with the mad galloping. The Sheriff and his men are gaining on you, and a quick glance back shows you that the man with the star is holding a rifle. You pull at your horse's reigns to try to move aside, but there is a loud shot and agony tears through your lower back as you are catapulted from the saddle. You land heavily in the dust, quickly realising that you cannot feel your legs. The dirt beneath you is turning bright red, and the world seems to be fading.

You try to crawl forwards, but only succeed in gasping and scrabbling at the ground. With the very last of your strength, you roll yourself over so that you can see the blue sky above as your last breath leaves your lungs.
