Ghastly Sight

Here are the rules.
1) Below, I've provided the beginning of the tale
2) You provide the rest
3) It has to be of a cowboy/western theme
4) No profanity, no sex or erotica
5) Please no STICKY CAPS, painful to read a whole entry written in ALL Caps.
6) Poems going against the rules will be eliminated from contest.

Thanks and have fun!

The past comes alive on this night.
As the wind howls through town,
tumbleweeds roll down the street.
All the windows and doors are shut tight.
In the distant hills,
a coyote calls.
If you listen closely,
 you’ll hear a tune
as dance hall girls twirl.
Just down the street
out of the corner of your eye,
a door sways on creaking hinges.
You pause in the dark
and hear the sidewalk creek.
Out of the shadows,
A ghastly site -
