The Outlaw Express #1
rebeccarose.ethFortune favors the bold for everyone except the dimwitted. Thought they’d nab some loot, but these days everyone’s going broke. Like a silent flick gone wrong, the numbskulls scrammed while the train chugged off, chaos and calamity in tow, because on this side of the tracks everyone's an outlaw.
