Thanos Kalamidas - Western

https://theoviebooks.wordpress.com/ The Wyoming sky was streaked with orange and purple as the sun dropped behind the jagged hills, casting long shadows over the dry plains. The air tasted like dust and old whiskey, and it bit at the edges of Rob Carter’s skin as he walked slowly down the dirt road. His boots crunched on the gravel, the sound echoing in the quiet of the evening. The town hadn’t changed much in the fifteen years since he left it, same cracked sidewalks, same worn-out storefronts, and the same fading memories of a life he had once known. His old farmhouse loomed ahead, empty and tired, much like the man who stood before it. Rob’s hand grazed the gate, worn smooth from years of passing. There was a time, a long time ago, when this place had felt like home. But home had a way of slipping through your fingers like sand when you weren’t paying attention. The wind shifted, carrying with it the faint smell of cattle from the pen he'd once maintained, but even that was a distant reminder. The place was no longer his, and in many ways, neither was he. Rob Carter, sheriff retired Thanos Kalamidas, a multipublished writer, cartoonist and illustrator; born and grew up in a picturesque neighbourhood on the mountainside of Hymettus in Athens, Greece. Then his life took him to Berlin, Germany and to London, UK for studies. After a brief stay in Yorkshire he moved his life to Paris, France while working in Tokyo, Japan and in Cape Town, South Africa. In the last 25 years he became a permanent Scandinavian resident and recently, in his glorious sixth decade, he moved to a scenic village in the Växjö area. Ovi eBook Publishing 2025
