    Craig Gabrysch

    I remember three things growing up: going to church incessantly from a young age (I was in Catholic school, so it made sense), watching Westerns with my dad on Saturdays, and reading The Hobbit. The Jacob Smith stories are my shot at blending those three themes.

      Author’s Note

      Two things.

      One: I originally published this under the pseudonym Fyodor Gutierrez, in Twit Publishing’s first book Twit Publishing Presents: PULP! Summer/Fall 2010. You can find a copy of it by following the link.

      Two: This is not historical fiction. It’s more a blend of fantasy and western, with some history to color it. I know for a fact that one of the characters never lived in Lincoln County. But, like I said, this is more fantasy and western than anything else.

      A Knight Templar in Lincoln County

      by Craig Gabrysch

      Jacob’s horse galloped towards Lincoln, New Mexico. The sun was setting on his right. Dust filled his mouth and sweat dripped into his eyes. No one ever sent him to San Fran and no one asked for Jacob to take his time, to maintain a leisurely pace. Instead, it was always don’t spare the horses. Which, in the Southwestern Territories, meant don’t spare the rider neither. Fuck New Mexico. He put spurs to his horse, urging it onward, knowing that it probably wouldn’t make the last leg.

      Two days prior, the carrier pigeon had arrived in Santa Fe. Jacob had left an hour later. He’d already spent three horses and damn near forty-eight hours on the trail. He had barely had time to perform the necessities of consuming or eliminating food.
