*****

A man walked into George Pickens’ shop and started looking around. George recognized him immediately as one of the men Horse dragged into town the day before.

“Nice shop you got here,” he said.

“I thank you,” said George but his shaky voice betrayed his unease.

The man pretended to be interested in items on the shelves. He picked up canned peas and held them to the light. He dipped his fingers in the cornmeal and put some on his tongue. He took a stick of licorice from its jar and started chewing on it.

The man came up to the desk. He put his gun on the counter and tapped his fingers like he was playing an harmonium. “Nice store you got here,” he said.

George mustered some courage and said, “You said that already.”

The man glared at him. “I know what I said and I will say it as many times as I want because I wish to make an impression on you that I am going to buy this shop.”

George gasped. He gathered his senses. “It’s not for sale.”

“Oh I know,” the man said. “But it will be.”

He eyed George with an uncloaked threat in his eye. “It will be,” he said. He picked up his gun and left the store.
