The Most Cheerful Cowboy in the Wild West Was Also the DeadliestAdded:
This cowboy rides through the Wild West, singing like he's the happiest man alive, always smiling, always polite, and somehow always dressed in spotless white. At first glance, he looks completely harmless, but that's exactly what makes him dangerous. When a group of outlaws tries to rob him, the smiling cowboy doesn't even flinch. One second later, guns start firing, and before anyone realizes what happened, every outlaw is lying dead in the dirt. Then he casually tips his hat, cracks a joke, and goes right back to singing, like murder is just another part of his routine. Word of the mysterious gunslinger spreads fast. Soon, every tough guy in the West wants to challenge him, and every time, the result is exactly the same. The challenger reaches for a gun, the cowboy shoots first. Game over. But fame creates a problem. The more unbeatable he becomes, the bigger the target on his back. Then one day, a young gunslinger rides into town, confident, fast, and looking for a legend to kill. The smiling cowboy laughs it off. After all, he's beaten everyone else. Why would this guy be any different? The duel begins. Both men stand perfectly still, waiting, watching. Then, bang. For the first time, the cowboy is too slow. The bullet tears straight through him. He looks down in disbelief, because the man who never lost has finally met someone faster. As he falls, he sees a glowing figure floating above him. Then the legendary gunslinger smiles one last time, tips his hat, and drifts into the sky, just like the ending of one of his songs.
