I’ve been working on that ranch for years, watching workers come and go. But I’ve got my dog. I feel useless since I lost my hand. I think the boss is waiting to fire me.

I’m the boss’s son. I got myself a pretty wife and I’m keeping my hand soft just for her. None of them workers better look at my lady or I’ll knock them out.

I’m the only black man on the ranch and the other workers treat me like I am nothing. They use me for entertainment and make me fight. I’m not even allowed to sleep in the same room as them.

I’m the only woman on the ranch. I like flirting with the men who work there but I’m married. I get very lonely as there’s no-one to talk to.?
