He Dug Graves Before Death Came—Until One Morning He Knew He’d Be the Next in 1873 Wyoming Town!...

In 1873, Silas Crowe was the gravedigger of Purgatory Creek, Wyoming - a man who had buried 247 souls and developed an uncanny ability to sense who would die next. He always dug the graves before the bodies arrived, and he was never wrong. But when Silas wakes one morning with the certainty that he must dig three graves, and the growing suspicion that one of them is meant for him, his gift becomes a curse.
As the first two graves fill with the expected dead, Silas descends into paranoia, convinced he can outsmart fate itself. But in the unforgiving landscape of the American frontier, sometimes the only thing more dangerous than death is the fear of it.
A psychological tale of prophecy, paranoia, and the cruel irony of self-fulfilling fate - where a man who spent his life reading the signs of death in others failed to recognize them in himself.
This is another story from 'The Frontier Ledger' - forgotten tales of the American Old West, where fate, greed, and redemption met on the wild frontier.
