Your name is Harold, you were 18 years old, and you were a boy who grew into a teenager without the aid of parents, as you've been travelling around the South searching for who they are. You rode on a buck-skin mayor, as you arrived at a town called "Open Gulch", which was a gulch opened to anyone in Texas.
As you rode into the town, you saw a ton of friendly faces, when suddenly you saw a shadowy figure outside of town, as it was standing on one of the sand dunes. The figure had the head, torso, and arms of a human, but as you looked down, you found that it had the lower body of a horse. Before you could see any further of the creature, you spot that it has disappeared as a bunch of sandy fog made it seem like it vanished into the are of the desert. You decide to ask someone in town about it.
