Time. We always seem to be giving it, taking it, and running out of it. We always, always want more of it. And we dream of being able to control it.

There are people who claim THEY are time travelers…do you believe it?

Cattle mutilation stories are all weird. And all sound kind of similar, don’t they? There’s the dead animal, missing various body parts – with no blood or tracks or footprints or evidence of any kind. Something is happening to these animals.

You’re heading west, with big dreams of staking your claim to one of those parcels of land promised in the Homestead Act. Word has it there’s a family up the road yonder that takes in travelers.

Just go on up the road a ways – and ask for the Benders’ place. And then, hope to God you make it alive.
