Cowboy (Prompt 1)

They say he walks often in the night, the one with shiny buckles on his boots. His hat hangs low, shielding his eyes, and folks have observed his peculiar gait. A lasso hangs from his belt, the one with the buckle that's reminiscent of Texas and other big things. He has no horse, no real story to speak of. People don't know who he is, but he walks along these city streets late at night, yes sir. It's clockwork, how he strolls about in that odd fashion, dressed up like a cattle wrangler. A tired man from the cosplay convention.
