Clara’s Crusadeby C.J. Petit

Clara was angrier than she’d ever been before. But even her fury took second place to her deep frustration.

They’d murdered her first husband as a warning to the others. Then six months later, after she’d convinced her second husband to join her crusade against the town’s corruption, he’d been shot in the head to put an end to her editorials.

They thought she’d pack up and leave Cottonwood, but she refused to give up or back down. Two weeks ago, she’d wired the Arizona territorial governor in Prescott, hoping he would send help. But now, those hopes were gone. She hadn’t even received a telegraphed dismissal of her request.

Adding to her frustration was her printer’s refusal to let her continue her crusade. If she’d been able to set type and use the printing press, she could still write her accusatory editorials.

She felt trapped and her newspaper’s circulation was less than half of what it had been just two weeks earlier. As she stared at the cold steel printing press, Clara wished she knew how to use a gun. It may be the only way she could continue the fight as no
one else seemed to care and there was no help on the way.

The Broken Roadby Jordan Marie

I never planned on coming home.
Never say never.

Katie Smith had forever written all over her.
I knew better than to touch her.
I just couldn’t stop myself.

I had plans, goals, and a life that didn’t include Macon, Texas.

What do you do when what you want clashes with what you love?
You either let it tear you apart, or you make a decision.

Now, seven years later, I have regrets—none as big as walking away from Katie.
But life moves on and she’s getting ready to marry my brother.

I don’t like it. There’s a pain inside me that I can’t escape, but there’s nothing I can do.

Then, I learn my decision had consequences.
Like a son I never knew was mine.
