A Ghost from the Past
News articles were piled up high
Sorted, edited ready to print
But a name had caught my eye
That I had to investigate.
Ron would feed the goatsand help
Bella shuck the stalls
he'd be back here before we close
to print the papers for his route.
I unlocked the drawer
and read the letter again.
The exact same message as before
No property for me in Carson City.
It was a secret message
From lawyers Gus, Gabe and Son
To stay away and hidden
While I was on the run.
This month had brought no letter
Something had happened to them
"If William is here ... and so is Ewell
There'll be no good outcome."
"Is it him? It ... could be
It had to be" I wondered.
The sheriff was on his rounds
Billy was at the jail
"You're late getting this story
But he'll tell you quite a tale."
