Short Stories - Fire Brands by W. C. Tuttl

In the far reaches of the frontier, where dust storms roll like thunder and justice often rides alone, the Bar-S Ranch stands as both a prize and a battleground. Once a peaceful stretch of open range, it has become the center of a simmering conflict—one fueled by greed, vengeance, and the relentless struggle for power that marks the untamed West.

Into this turmoil rides a lone horseman, hardened by the trail and sharpened by experience. Rumor speaks of him as a wanderer, a man who carries more scars than stories, and who trusts the strength of his resolve more than the pull of any badge or banner. But when the Bar-S Ranch is threatened by outlaw bands and shadowy forces eager to claim its land, he finds himself drawn into a fight he can no longer ignore.

With danger lurking behind every canyon ridge and loyalties shifting like desert sand, he must decide whether to stand with the honest men who call the ranch home—or leave the frontier to be swallowed by lawlessness.

“Fire Brands: The Fight for the Bar-S Ranch” is a tale of grit, honor, and determination, echoing the classic spirit of pulp adventure. Here, heroes are forged in gun smoke, villains rise in the twilight, and courage is measured by the willingness to face the blaze—no matter the cost.
