This was wonderful. I still haven't decided if it was Heyes or Curry in the bed, the voice I heard varied throughout the tale. Masterfully done, even without knowing who was talking it was very easy to picture and follow. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

ON BORROWED TIME
I really liked this and you did a great job with the dialogue. Thanks for a great and sad read.

Worth the wait Eleanor - you're back on top form. I'm glad you made the decision not to reveal who was talking to Lom

Just read "On Borrowed Time".
My thought is that Kid was dead and Heyes was the one throwing himself in the river.
By the way, your experiment worked...VERY WELL!
Good story!

I'd say your experiment definitely succeeded! It was easy to follow what was going on and the lack of identifiers for whom was talking was not a problem for me. As for who the survivor was, there are no clues pointing to one person in particular so it could be either Heyes or Curry but based on your previous stories, I do think you had a particular dark-haired ex-outlaw in mind. :-)

This was so masterfully done that, even though I've read the story before, I wanted to enjoy it again. You did the classic dialog experiment so well! No flaws, and such a pleasure to read!

A dialogue only story is very difficult to write and you have done an admirable job. I've read this years ago and Heyes voice was in my head. On rereading it, looking at the words, it could be either one but Heyes is still who I hear, full of loneliness and despair. well done.
