Dead Man's Hand
We called ourselves "The Nine", and we shook the pillars of heaven when we rode... We took what we wanted, cutting a path of blood and destruction across the territory. Neither God nor laws of men stood in our way. My head was filled with visions of fame and gold, but the rest of the gang liked the money and loved the killing. They thrived on fear and reveled in the blood of others. When I decided I wanted out - they tried to kill me. One by one, I will hunt them down and pay them back. With interest. More information at the Dead Man's Hand site.
