The town is small compared to the

desert, it counts with only three building,
with a naked eye we couldn't know what
are exactly those buildings. But inferring,
it could refer to a sallon, commissary and
a public establishment. The cemetery is
bigger than the town, it could be, because
Sliver Pete had murdered many
townsfolks and strangers at the town,
those are many graves.

Between the sallon and

 conflict

The story starts with the description of an horrible character

who terrifies the townsfolks with his bad-tempered
personality when he plays cards and hobbies like killing
sheriffs. For that reason the people collect a reward who kills
or get out of town Sliver Pete. That person will have some
issues with him and finally after an incredible affair he goes
out of the town forever.

Conflict is marked more than everything by the

disagreement of townsfolks with Sliver Pete, also the
continual deaths of strangers eager for the reward. When the
Preacher arrives, he also will have a conflict for the money
which it has been stolen by Sliver Pete.

 theme

The story tells about an incredible event that happens on a

small town, a confrontation between a very good gunman
and a mysterious character called Preacher Dan.

A reflection on life set in the years 1885, and how a terrible

villain can be defeated by the power of illusion. The strength
of faith on God could be represented in various ways. But it
all comes down to the uncertainty of what happened, and the
truth is only known by few

Also It is a stereotype of life in those years, showing the

typical story of a gunman who is dedicated to provoke fear
on the population with his threats to assassinate anyone who
makes him angry, ultimately banished or detained by a
mysterious hero.
