Imagine it's October 26, 1881 in Tombstone, Arizona.

It's a cold, windy afternoon, and you're shopping for groceries in a general store downtown with your daughter, Geraldine.

It's her birthday soon, so you grab sugar, flour, and molasses from the shelves to make a shoe fly pie her favorite.

She doesn't much care for shopping, though, so you've left her outside on the street to play.

You're about to pay for your purchases when the door flies open and your friend Alice hurries inside.

She looks upset as she runs up to you. Alice, what's the matter? There's trouble brewing

outside across the street. Look. She points to the window. Are those the Earp brothers? Yeah,

and Doc Holliday, too. What's the sheriff doing with them? Oh, some of those hooligan cowboys

wrote in last night, went on a rampage. They've been drinking whiskey for a day straight. One of them even

tried to pick a fight with all three of the Earp brothers. Good Lord, why don't they just arrest him? Well, they did, but the judge just find him, sent him right back onto the street. Now the Earps are on the war path, and the sheriff's trying to calm them down, I guess. Where are the Cowboys now? Well, they're just down the street in an empty lot.

I saw what was coming and realized I was caught right in the Cowboys now? Well, they're just down the street in an empty lot.

I saw what was coming and realized I was caught right in the middle, so I came in here.

A flood of others comes into the shop, too, each anxious to escape whatever trouble is brewing

outside. You look out the window again. The Earp brothers and Doc Holliday pushed past the

sheriff, kicking up dust as they head down the street in the direction of the cowboys.

The cold wind then blows, and the dust disappears like smoke, but it also flutters Holliday's long overcoat, revealing a shotgun.

Oh, my God.
