I had quite the journey last night. I took a trip up into the mountains to see if I could have a word with Flaco Hernandez, one of the gunfighters I was tracking down for the author feller I met in Valentine. When I arrived I was greeted by 3 or 4 of Flaco's men. These fellers weren't too keen on me making Flaco's acquaintance, but truth be told there weren't much they could've done to stop me.
I decided to do a little hunting since the area up north in Ambarino was teeming with wildlife. Finally, with my horse stuffed and stacked with pristine elk and deer pelts, rabbits swinging from my saddle, I begin to make my way home and then It happened. A man yelling for help, I try to make my way to him but my trusty companion Festus falls to his death off the side is a snow covered cliff. I couldn't save him or the man. Now with nothing but my saddle and no sign of human life around for miles I restart my journey home on foot, in the thick snow, with all of my worldly possessions in hand.

I walked and walked and walked some more. Then the wolves came. The same I presumed that got me into this predicament in the first place, you'd think they'd eaten enough at this point. I dispatched with the animals, welcoming the warmth from my repeater as I placed it back on my shoulder. I thought it best to put on some cover scent lotion to try and keep the hounds and bears at bay after that encounter.

The sun started to go down so I set up camp and bedded down until morning.

I get to town, get a new steed and head to the saloon for a meal and drink and who's mouth do I hear before I even get in the door

Now, I wasn't in the mood for a fight after that long slog but....

I probably could've have left the saddle and picked it up at a stable when I got back to town, mashed the sprint button to get out of there but I decided to let myself be fully immersed and let the story write itself.
Hands down, best story I’ve seen in here so far. This Is everything the game is about bro. Man! 1 more day til I’m back from vacation. I’m dying. I’m gonna try and put in 24 hours of work
