It's in Abilene where Slade is intruded upon by the local tough that starts a series of events that causes him to curse the world and everyone in it.
Slade was angry. His mood was heavy. His deeds callous, but he didn't care. The Wallace gang, comprising of four men and a boy, took some possessions that belonged to him. He set out to get them back. Revenge in his heart and memories of his past in his mind.
