Issue 23. April 2012 : DANIEL DAVIS West Texas Tears

from The Drum: A Literary Magazine For Your Ears · host The Drum Literary Magazine

Daniel Davis brings a modern sensibility to the cowboys-and-Indians tale in "West Texas Tears". In his short story, two lawmen come upon a land-grabbers' home where Indians have left only one little girl alive. The narrator, Horace, wrestles with what's fair and what's just as he comes upon a surviving Indian caught in barbed wire. Davis' story is a subtle study of the complications of justice and belonging.
