Long Gun
By: Logan Roberson
Long Gun, a Civil War veteran filled with justice and rage, finds himself engulfed in a personal battle almost twenty years after the war's end. Between shellshock, a guilty conscience, and a sense of justice to kill the man who murdered his brother, Long Gun is being led down a dark path. He is conflicted, stuck in a time when justice was measured by raw emotions and longing to find peace. Unsure of what to do with his life, Long Gun roams the frontier, doing his best to fight for the little guy and hunt down his enemies. Now an aging middle-aged man, Long Gun is still living this life, but after making new friends who decide he's more folktale hero than quick, angry gunslinger, the battle between killing for the dead and existing for the living comes to a climactic end.
Long Gun is a fun, gritty tale full of gunfights, horse chases, and saloon brawls with an in-depth look into the life of a larger-than-life figure and the human behind the legends.
