Time Traveller
Yelling at the top of your voice, you rush in firing, the sheriff close behind you. Men stand in surprise, drawing their six-shooters. A man brings up his gun to fire at you from over to the left, and you fire again and again. You're not used to using a gun, and you think your shots will be inaccurate, but you hear a grunt as a bullet takes a man in the chest. Running like the wind, you dive behind a large boulder, just as bullets ricochet from the rock. The sheriff dives down next to you, swearing as a shot comes too close.
"You're insane!" he shouts at you over the roar of gunfire. You are inclined to agree with him right now. You're only a scientist!
The sheriff scrambles up, and looses a few shots over the boulder. You hear a yell, and then another, before the sheriff ducks back behind the rock.
"How many of them are there?" you ask the sheriff.
"I don't know, 'bout eight?"
"Eight?" you say incredulously. You risk a look over the boulder, and see the men ready to fire again. With no choice now but to defend yourself, you fire a few hasty shots at the outlaws. To your surprise, you manage to hit one.
Suddenly, there is a deafening rumbling sound, and a spattering of stones fall upon you.
The sheriff swears.
"A rockfall! Run for it!" He shouts. Apparently, the outlaws have noticed also, and yelling, they are running for their horses. The only escape is the way you came in.
