TRAVELING BACK TO THE OLD WEST:
A Timeless Crossing
Written by Bruce Thomas
This is a story about two men that travel Old West re-enactment settings to get a flavor for what it was like in the 1850's.
Little do they know that they enter a time warp while under the belief that all re-enactment experiences are staged a mere
portrayal of what life was like back then.
Throughout their travels to various re-enactment sets, they encounter historic heros and villains, saloons, shootouts,
and the dry, dusty, and crude way of life.
Unbeknownst to our lead characters, none of this is realized until they return home a rather stunning ending.
