It was Two O'clock in the afternoon July 24,1873 in a little town in Oklahoma.
No one had noticed the steady stream of horse riders coming into town. One about every fifteen minutes.
Hitching their horses several feet from eachother.
One at a time they entered the alley behind the Wild West Saloon.
By three thirty they had entered the back door of the Wild West Saloon.
Waiting for them was Queen,the owner of the saloon.
She greeted each one of them as they came in calling them by name.
Ephiphany, the bank teller.
J amie the safe cracker.
Dove Starr the Outlaw.
Cynthia Dalton wife of one of the Dalton gang.
Jessi "desensytized" James wife of Jessy James.
Ma Catz Barker head of the Barker gang.
Doctor Tasha Holliday.
Chief Warrior7.
Stardust the sharp shooter.
Hekate the Lock smith.
Goalsv The Gun fighter.
Raftkin Clanton wife of one of the Clanton gang.
Huntress Pro. Bank robber.
Sarah nick named 957 because she had been shot nine times in fifty seven robberies.
Snowbowl had 14 notches on his guns.
Wattle Pro. Train robber.
WolfMistress who went nowhere without her trained Wolf.
XxFatallyMistaken Gun toating lady allways dressed in black.
Little Feather Princess Daughter of famous Indian Chief.
Wingsofgold Nick name he wore two Gold Handled Six shooters.
After everyone was counted for Queen the owner of the "Wild West Saloon" stood up and told the gang they could see she had hand picked everyone in the room.
Ephaphany the Bank teller has supplied us with the imformation we need.
At Five O'clock this evening there will be a delivery of One Million Dollars to be stored in the bank overnight.
Divided we each would have $50,000 dollers a nice few minutes work right. Everyone agreed.
Queen said ok now everyone will have a job to do and if done right there should be no problems. Hekate our lock smith will open the back door of the bank at exactly 8:00 O'clock.
J amie our safe cracker will set the explosives. The money will be in canvas bags. Wattle will be on the oposide side of the street and will count the canvas bags as they are unloaded.
Ephaphany will leave the bank at closing. At eight O'clock she will be at the cafe across the street making sure people see her.
As soon as the robbery is over I will slip back into the saloon
and make my presence known. Ma. Catz Barker will be the lookout at the window inside the bank when the explosives are set she will signal when its clear outside the Bank.There will be one person for each canvas bag. I will be at the back door holding it open untill everyone is out of the bank where the horses will be waiting.
Only Little Feather and I know where the Hideout is you will follow her once in the Hideout noone is to come out untill Ephiphany and I get there tomorrow after the Bank closes if it is open.We will divide the money and each one will go his or her own way. Final plans will be made as soon as the money has been delivered to the Bank. For now we will just wait.
Soon after five o'clock Wattle came with the news the money was in the bank and there were ten canvas bags.Queen began explaining the final plans there will be eleven of us inside the Bank including me.
J amie, Ma, Catz Barker,Dove,Jessi James,Dr.Tasha,Snowbowl14
Stardust100,Wolfmistress, Goalsv, Reftkin, As soon as the safe is open the ten will grab one bag of money each and get out to
where the horses will be waiting.
Wingsofgold will be guarding the alley leading to the back of the bank. Ok is there any questions? if no questions now we just
wait.
Finally ten minutes to eight. The time had come Hekate left to open the back door to the bank. after five minutes the eleven left that would enter the bank. Then everyone left to do the job they had been assigned.
Inside the bank J amie was buisy setting up the explosives on the Safe. Ma Catz Barker was at the window watching, Queen was
at the back door the others against the wall oposite the tellers
windows lined up in order they would grab a canvas bag.
Finally J amie signaled the explosives were ready. the clear signal was given and J amie lit the fuse.
Finally a loud " BOOM " everyone in the bank stood up and could
not believe what they were seeing. The Bank was filled with tiny
flying pieces of money The million dollers were blown into little pieces.The bank was filling with heavy smoke Queen yelled come on lets get out of here. Outsise queen yelled get out of here fast. Within a few minutes the gang had disapeared into the woods behind the bank except Queen who slipped into the saloon through the back door. Everyone was rushing to the front door in response to the explosion no one noticed queen as she entered the saloon and joined the crowd.
Ephiphany was among the crowd in front of the cafe.
The entire gang got away free and no one ever knew who had blown away "ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH"

I am so sorry , so sorry...no body told me how to measure in USA measurments when I packed that nitro...living way up north on the other side of the border there in Canada I just naturally used Metric measurments...thought a gallon and a liter were the same...no wonder that money got blowed to smithereens...are you gonna kick me out of the gang.. ...Dang...and I was so looking forward to spending my 50,000 on a nice new shinny horse..one with out a limp...and some teeth...for me not the horse...I been wanting to chaw on a nice juicy steak for ages instead of that gruel you all keep feeding me...
...this was a delightful story...maybe we shold go into the movie business instead of robberies...I could blow up the sets...
Good luck in the contest
