A story using the words above

The fugitive limped through the sagebrush, his maimed leg barely holding up. His moccasins were torn, dirt strewnacross his path.

A ravenous hunger gnawed at him, but only vultures watched from above. He spotted a cabin near the raggedy pinyonsand ponderosa, its door hanging open.

Inside, a skillet lay on the table, its surface blackened with scorched goo. He scraped the remnant of food, ignoring the clatter of rusted pots.

Outside, a man approached, cussing, his voice boisterous. The fugitive teetered, his mind foggy from exhaustion. He had no time for deceit—only escape.
