Tanya: I Suck at Titles

When the shooting finally stopped, Poppy carefully peeked out from where he was hiding. He was still out of view, and the rustlers hadn’t seen him.

Robert and Earl were dead, or faking really well, about ten feet away, and the rest of the men must be too. He watched nervously as the rustlers walked back toward their horses, planning to start rounding up the cattle. Damn thieves.

He waited for them to turn their backs, and then crawled out from under the chuckwagon, silently. With a quick one-two, he shot them both dead. Fools. They always forget the cook.

Is it ok if I start calling most of my stories "Untitled"? I spent more time trying to think of a title than it took to write the damn thing, and still came up empty.

Better yet - Make titling your story a contest!

My entry is "Chef's Surprise"
