Hi Laila,
This was a fun read and solid effort on a western, it fits the theme of this week's contest well!
Unfortunately it has been flagged as likely generated by AI by a couple of tools we use for contest entries.
We recognize how useful AI is as a tool to assist in writing, and do not wish to discourage authors from posting their best work, however when multiple tools flag a piece as more than 50% generated, we have to ask questions and check with the author.
At this time we will say we very much enjoyed your piece, but without further discussion with you we won't be able to consider this entry for prizes in this week's contest. We would be haply to discuss further with you if you wish!
