Description

I'll try to keep these short, as I know no one will read it anyway :/

This is an "intro" to my historic fiction (emphasis on fiction) series of pieces titled:
The Less Authentic Life of Billy the Kid; aka Screw You Pat Garrett I Like Unicorns
It'll take place before the Lincoln County War (look it up), during the time when the kids were hired by John Tunstall to protect his property from the Murphy-Dolan faction.
