Interesting parallel timelines revolving around an abandoned mining town. Points taken off for overuse of the word whore (dude, I get it, there were sex workers in the old West mining town), the number of times that blood pools darly, and the end felt like the author ran out of pages, closed his laptop, and said, "done!"
