Calloway

A dead man in the scrub.
No sheriff in sight.
And a drifter with a war behind him and name no none knows—yet.

When Obadiah Calloway rides into a muddy camp called Bridger, he isn’t looking for a badge or a fight. But when a body turns up behind the assay office and the crowd starts whispering justice, Calloway steps forward. Not because it’s right. Because someone has to. “Calloway” is a standalone short story steeped in grit, regret, and frontier justice. Set long before This Ain’t Roswell, it marks the first spark of law in Ridge County—and the man who lit it.
