So Katrina Kashnikov tied her doney to the hitching post beside the railway station and strode onto the platform,heading to the bench.
Both Unoin and Confederate troops loitering around scattered
at her approach,as they were aware of her fiercesome reputation as a deadly shot.
Off in the distance came the chug huff chug huff sound of the
approaching steam locomotive and its
cars.
The train came to a stop in front of the platform and a man in a Union uniform,a officer by the looks of it,and a young girl stepped down onto the dirt and headed towards the railway station.
The girl stumbled tremendously as she walked,which was Katrina's
clue that this was her client.
Katrina pulled out the letter
from an Union general named Burnside.
Everyone knew about the fiasco that was
the Battle for Burnside's Bridge
but few knew that one of the grieving mothers
of the slain soldiers had also been a witch,and had cursed Burnsides firstborn,his daughter
Elidia.
Burnside could see the tall Russian woman with the Enfield and knew
that this was Katrina,the
Russian Witch Gunfighter.
They made their introductions and then Burnside guided both women back to the Union Army car
and minutes later the train pulled away,leaving a shocked
braying donkey,now abandoned,still
hitched to the post....
