The Wishers

About the Book

The Wishers are a group of friends living in the present day that like to play Cowboy. They have gone so far with the western theme as to gather original items owned by the families they emulate. They have made a small western town that fi ts on a trailer and pull this to rodeos on weekends. During Intermission they play out the last days of the Dawson Gang. The wish to be back in the old west is overpowering. As soon as they arrive at the rodeo, the gang gets everything ready for the show. At Intermission they set up the collapsible town and the fun begins. Going through their script of the robbing of the bank, they ride pell-mell out the back of the arena and into a small depression behind some trees to await the announcer’s speech. While waiting in the hole, a small Dust Devil comes in with the men and horses in a cloud of sand. When the sand clears, they are not where they were supposed to be.
