Gunfire: The Coach
This too shall pass.

I did have to hand it to her. She was pretty good.
The coach was waiting outside, horses quiescent in the evening cool. The head butler had done well with the brown-wrapped packages of provisions, and even placed a few trunks and hat-boxes on the roof for appearances' sake.
Ryle took the reins; Cerian and I were in the coach. As the last of the day turned to night, we moved south towards the docks.

And in fact, stories with multiple sequels by various people are already CYOA type stories, as hindsight suggests... intriguing!
