Christmas Eve on Lonesome

"Christmas Eve on Lonesome" follows Buck, a man released from prison who rides through a snowy mountain hollow consumed by one purpose: killing the enemy who betrayed him and stole his liberty. Concealed in an apple tree outside a remote cabin, pistol drawn, he peers through a lit window at the moment he has waited three years for — only to find something he never expected waiting in the firelight. The story turns on a single, wordless instant of recognition that quietly dismantles everything Buck came to do.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
