One Last Time
by William J. Buchanan[from the back cover] "I stood at the foot of my father's bed, gazing at his ashen face, my mind a jumble of emotions. Diablo, the devil steer, had gored him almost to death. And my father wasn't the first. For years, angry voices on the pueblo had called for Diablo to be dragged into the plaza at the end of a rope. Many had tried. All had failed. I would not fail. I owed it to my father to even the score. Like war chiefs planning a battle, my friend Steve and I knelt in the corral and drew tactics in the dirt. Steve, on his father's prized golden stallion, would rope Diablo and hold him. I would come from the rear and snag his hind legs. Visions of glory blurred any doubts about victory. But nothing could have prepared us for the moment we faced two thousand pounds of enraged bull... or the bloody terror that followed..."
