100 Word Fiction
The town was founded around 1902, when gold was first discovered. Virgil Earp was sheriff in 1904, but didn’t last long. He died in 1905 from pneumonia. Some say he might have visited the Hoist House back then but that’s impossible, as the place wasn’t built till twenty years later. Just around the time I was born. Yes, I’m nearing the century mark. We’ve got big plans for my birthday in 5 years. If I make it. I tell everyone who asks that clean living and a drink a day is my secret. That and a cigarette just before bed.
Beautifully captured Emilio! Yep whatever your doing is working, so keep doing it! (o;

My wife reminds me that, when we married, I told her I planned on living till 100 and having sex every night. I swear I don’t remember saying anything like that.
