\n\n\n\nThis year, many of us had become addicted to West World, so a good old-fashioned Western seemed appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nTrixie and the Christmas Miracle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A train whistle echoed in the distance as US Marshal Dilan McRIGHTland brought his horse RIGHTy to a stop on the LEFT side of the ridge. Down below, RIGHT in the middle of the valley, was his destination. The place he had been headed RIGHT towards for three weeks. wRIGHTville Gulch. He\u2019d seen a lot of dusty towns, not much more than a few buildings on the RIGHT and LEFT side of a crooked street. LEFT to his own devices, he would have LEFT his job and gone RIGHT back to his family farm on LEFT bank of the Ohio river, RIGHT below Louisville, Kentucky. But he had sworn an oath to uphold justice, to make sure that wrongs were RIGHTed, and that no criminal was LEFT free to cause more harm. It was the RIGHT thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He dug his heals into RIGHTy and they headed RIGHT down the trial, towards an encounter that would have been best LEFT alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As he entered the town from the\u2026 south, he surveyed both sides of the street. On the RIGHT was a bank, livery stable, and what looked like a hotel that may not be where the RIGHT type of people stay. The other side of the street held a saloon, blacksmith, general store, and a Chinese restaurant: RIGHT and Wrong Noodles. Dilan assumed that the fugitive he was seeking was in the saloon. So he tied up RIGHTy, using a LEFT hitch not, and went RIGHT in the swinging doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It took a while for his eyesight to adjust to the dim interior. A long mahogany bar filled the wall. On the\u2026 other side, there was a staircase that led to rooms on the second floor. RIGHT in the middle of the room stood a giant Christmas tree. That was RIGHT, Dilan thought. Today was Christmas Eve. It has been a long time since he had enjoyed a RIGHT proper Christmas. He began to daydream about snowy Christmas mornings when a shout brought him RIGHT back to reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey! You looking for me, stranger?\u201d A man dressed head to toe in black leather stood on the LEFT side of the Christmas tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you are LEFTy Peterson, then yes.\u201d Replied Dilan. \u201cI\u2019m US Marshal Dilan McRIGHTland and I\u2019ve traveled all the way to wRIGHTville Gulch, RIGHT here in the middle of nowhere, to bring you to justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two men stared at each other across the room, their RIGHT hands hovering over their six-shooters, which for now were LEFT in their holsters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think you have it RIGHT, Marshal. When I LEFT the Stanton brothers for dead, RIGHT in the middle of Dodge City, I LEFT that life behind me. I\u2019m clean now. I\u2019ve got a wife and kids. I started over. You know what I did was RIGHT, they deserved to die. So the RIGHT thing for you to do is get back on your horse and get out of town.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This LEFT Marshall Dilan a bit baffled. What if LEFTy was RIGHT? And then he stood up straight and looked LEFTy in the eye. \u201cThe law is the law LEFTy, doesn\u2019t matter if you think what you did was RIGHT. It is up to a jury to decide that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LEFTy snarled, \u201cThe only way you are taking me back is as a corpse. If you don\u2019t leave in a coffin yourself. \u201cTheir RIGHT hands slowly moved to their guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just when they were about to draw on each other, a girl dressed like a dancer from the LEFT bank of the Sein in Paris dashed RIGHT between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStop RIGHT now!\u201d she shouted. \u201cGosh Nabit! It\u2019s Christmas Eve. Have you any heart LEFT, either of you?\u201d
She turned to LEFTy \u201cLEFTy, darling. You don\u2019t have to die. If you think what you did was\u2026 justified, go with the marshal, argue your case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She spun to face Marshall McRIGHTland \u201cAnd you, you come riding in here on Christmas eve, where we was having ourselves a RIGHT nice party, and you threaten our friend LEFTy, that just ain\u2019t RIGHT either!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dilan stood. He could see the star on his chest reflected in the mirror behind the bar, and he could see the star RIGHT on top of the tree. And he looked RIGHT at the dancing girl, where a small tear was falling from her RIGHT eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLEFTy\u201d he said, \u201cyou agree to let me handcuff you to that bar there, and we can have ourselves a RIGHT proper Christmas Eve and morning. And then we ride out of here, and you get your day in court. Does that sound\u2026. All RIGHT?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LEFTy thought for a minute, then responded, \u201cI RIGHT reckon that is the RIGHT thing to do. Here on Christmas eve, maybe some peace on earth is what we need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so on that Christmas Eve in a dusty town RIGHT in the middle of nowhere, a little Christmas spirit and a fiery dancing girl named Trixie, brought a little peace on earth and goodwill towards men to a place called wRIGHTville Gulch.<\/p>\n\n\n
