Shoot First and Pray You Live (Because Luck Has Nothing to Do with It)

[first lines]

Story Teller: [to children] There was a time, not long ago, where the great west, prior to century's turn, abounded in legend. Oh, there were stories of a fabled gunman, whose bullets always magically reached their mark. And mighty stallions, whose tireless gallop rode with the speed of the wind. And glorious women, whose beauty stunned both mind and heart. In some cases a man became immortal. Oh, it's not that lies were told about him, or impossible feats ascribed to him. But every detail about him was seized upon, and passed on with the most scrupulous and loving care. And in due time, he will become a legend.
