Darlene and the Mechanical Marshal
Accused of murder at eighty, Darlene talks the ancient robot marshal into one bargain: let her prove her innocence.
Drafting
Darlene is eighty years old and accused of murder. When an old robot marshal rides in to take her to justice, she does the one thing she still can. She talks.
She gets it to agree to a deal: give her the time to prove she didn’t do it. A dusty, tender weird-western, still taking shape.
