A few months ago I had the idea to write a short story. I decided that the genre will be a fusion of steampunk western, romance and thriller genres. I don't remember when it was the first sparkle of this weird idea but what I really recall is the days I spent daydreaming about the setup, the main characters, how they behave, some flashback of their dialogues, the major events of the story, etc. So, I started writing down some of these "revelations". Then, I had something important to carry out so I gave up writing temporarily to focus on the real life. And, once I'd fulfilled my duties, it was a little bit late for me to extract inspiration from thin air. So, here I am today exposing some paragraphs of that aborted project which I wrote down a few months ago. There's no real chronological order hereafter, just what seemed a logical one to me.
Obviously, some elements like the characters names have their roots in the folklore heritage relevant to the meanings I want to underline or foreshadow.
