Prompt #11 - What do you want?
What do I want? *smirk*

Well, unlike some people I know... *eyes Cody*, I don't have a want or need for things. I mean, like belongings. I mean, sure it's nice ta have 'em, but I cain't see how it really matters. Ya can't exactly take 'em with ya when ya go, ya know? And seein' as how my life's goin', I suppose it'd be kinda foolish to waste what I got now on things I ain't gonna have for long. It ain't like I don't understand why people want 'em and all... it just isn't for me.

But I suppose I'm tellin' ya what I don't want and you're askin' me what I DO want. It's something a man's gotta do a lot of thinkin' about. I mean, I could say I want to live forever, but I don't reckon I really do. I could say I want a girl, but if she ain't the right one or she's like Sarah Downs... well, a fella could get himself killed wishin' for somethin' like that. I should know.

I think maybe, more than anything, I just wanna be Jimmy. Not James Butler Hickok. Not Wild Bill. Just Jimmy Hickok, Pony Express rider. If I can have that back... I can't imagine I'd ever want for nothin' else.
