Cheyenne
Ty pushed his hand under rough strands of nylon. Closed his fingers tight around deep-cut braids. With his free hand, he pulled hard on the flat rope wrapped around the massive bull underneath him until he felt the blood being cut off from his grip hand.

Out in the arena, the voice of Bob Tallman blared from speakers.
