Time Traveller
Wheeling your horse around in the dust, you bring up your colt and fire wildly at the approaching lawmen, thumbing back the hammer like you remember in those old Westerns. It doesn't work quite the same way, you quickly discover, and your bullets are going wide. Through luck, one catches a lawman in the shoulder, catapulting him from his horse.
As you frantically try to aim and fire, the Sheriff brings up a rifle. Coming to your senses, you throw yourself from your horse and scramble down a nearby alleyway, nearly dropping the colt in the process.
With little other choice, you rush headlong for where you remember leaving your time machine as the lawmen bellow threats after you and the thunder of their hooves gets closer. Expecting a bullet between your shoulder blades at any time, you sigh with relief to find your machine where you left it concealed, pulling it out and throwing yourself inside.
Strapping yourself in, your fingers dart over the keyboard and myriad of dials and switches. Even through the machine's protective casing, you can hear gunshots. Fortunately, the machine can disappear very swiftly, but where will you set it to?
