The gunman stood only a few feet away from her. Caught in the mist of a robbery, Shelley has to decide whether to hand over the money (like she’s been trained to do) or fight back, something she’s never done before.

Scared Rabbit

Seeing the gun in his hand didn’t frighten Shelley, at least not at first. Growing up in a small town like Finley, most folks owned a gun or two. When they weren’t being used for hunting or on display at gun shows, town folks usually stored their guns and rifles safely away.

Although there were a few occasions when safety was not practiced. The last time someone was shot and killed was about ten years ago. It happened when the Barley boys, probably the most dim-witted clan in Finley, were drinking (something they did a lot of). Joseph Barley came up with the idea of playing Russian roulette. All four brothers took part in the game. It was during the second round when Brother Jacob pointed the pistol to his temple…and went to meet his Maker.
Overall, Finley was a safe place to live. Most people—especially the ones who never ventured outside of Finley—still didn’t lock their doors. Not even after that incident two years ago, when three convicts escaped from the state prison in Walla Walla and had been reported to be headed towards Finley. The most folks did was to lock the latch on their screen doors and pray that the convicts would be found sooner rather than later.
