Musing Way Prompt 64: Survival

Survival. Out here, survival is about just two things. Keeping your eyes open and your gun loaded. I've had to learn to read nature, see things that other people can't see, if I want to survive. Avoiding the goddamn (sorry Mizz Travis) bounty hunters that are after a pound of my flesh has been hard, but if I keep my wits about me, as Josiah would say, I can make it through. I never go anywhere without a gun. It would be near-suicide if I did.
I guess nowadays, the other thing that keeps me alive are the men I work with. For the first time in my life I know I have people who will watch my back for me, and that's something that don't come often in the wilds around here. Most times you're on your own. It's a strange feeling, but I think I'm growing to like it...
