Samantha, Sean, and Ken walk the boarded sidewalk looking at the dusty, dirty, and smelly western town. The dust blew as the smell of animals wafted in the air, it reminded they of a trip to Mackinaw City in upper Michigan. Yet here nobody was selling fudge.
Sean feeling the heat of a bright western sun walked into the Apothecary for an asprin. The others walk in as well, looking about home remede's and jars of liquids abound.
"Sir, said Sean do you have any asprin for a headache?"
The man cocked his head in wonder, " No azzprine, sir but explain your desire and we may have a remede, said the proprietor."
"My head hurts from sun, heat, and glare. I came here to see how the west was won, and be a part of it. I hope that you can help, said Sean?"
The man walked in circles with his hand rubbing a bristled old chin. "Hmmm too warm, doesn't like heat, Sun bothers skin, glare in a bother, wants to be part of the true west, hmmmm, Ya Ya here it is, said the old man. He picked up a green glass bottle with an orange label. The label read 'Dr. Sobbs Wester Elixor'.
Sean looked at the thick dark liquid, "This will cure my headache?"
"Bound to kill or cure, says here to drink once every half hour till desired feeling is fulfilled. Always finish all liquid before trashing bottle. That's two dollars sir, and I and your bottle welcome you to the west."
Ken looking around asked, "Do you have a remede giving me the strenght to follow my friends thru the west? Ha Ha Ha!"
The old man walked directly up to Ken, looking at him he squeezed Ken's left arm, reached up and marked Ken's 6'7" height. Walking back to a tall shelf he reached high and pulled off a black jug.
"Sip on this and you will have enough strenth to follow anyone thru the west, plains or deasert you'll do just fine, five dollars!"
Ken smiled and getting into the fun of the moment handed over his five spot and looked at the clay jug.
Samantha, not wishing to be out done asked, " How about something for a lady to smell nice a make her male suitor's follow her around?"
The old man smiled wide and dipped behind his counter and offed a small bottle of yellow liquid in a small glass form of a greek woman.
"Thirty two dollars, said the man."
Samantha, stunned by the price was not to be out done by her male friends.
As Samantha looked at her purchase the old man smiled and said, "Be careful with that stuff it is potent and has long lasting effects."
The three happy western folks walked out to meet the wild west head on!
