"I want a horse," said El Diablo Rojo to the witch.
"You have a horse outside. A fine mustang stallion," said the witch. Rojo couldn't tell how old the woman was, she could have been 35 or as old as 65. He supposed she was a gringo from the way she talked, but none of the gringo women he had known lived in a cave in the Arizona mountains, surrounded by skulls and pickled organs.
"I want a horse that never tires, that can take me anywhere I want as fast as the desert wind. A horse that doesn't need to sleep, drink, or eat. And especially…a horse that will make me feared." El Diablo Rojo had always been concerned about his reputation. He was already, at 25, a feared outlaw in Arizona and New and Old Mexico. His red jacket and cruelty had earned him his name. But he wanted to be a legend. He wanted dime novels written about him, like Wild Bill. With a beast like he was describing to the witch, he would get this.
"You can have all those things." Rojo wasn't sure if she was talking about the horse, or if she could somehow see his desires. "The Navajo taught me much about the spirit world. And the hougan's of the bayous taught me even more. But my master gave me the power to summon creatures from the bowels of the Pit. He requires only one thing in payment…" Her voice trailed off.
"What? Name your price and you shall have it."
"Your soul."
"Aceptado," said El Diablo Rojo, "I'm not using it anyway." link |

Thanks for the nice comments. More weird west stuff on the way, maybe in the dinosaur and steampunk vein. |

Dude! That is one of the coolest intros to a photo I've ever seen. And excellent work on the conversion, too. |

I'll try to add more little stories to my other weird west posts too. |

I got the impression that she was clairvoyant and she saw El Diablo Rojo at age 60 fighting with Pancho Villa in a Ford Model T: "I want a horse that never tires, that can take me anywhere I want as fast as the desert wind. A horse that doesn't need to sleep, drink, or eat. And especially…a horse that will make me feared." Though she may have gotten Tin Lizzy and El Dorado or Monster Truck mixed up. - John Paul |
