The Bullet in the Bible

It's been a while since I last did a Western themed story.

*bang*

Bucktooth Billy lay on his back in the dusty street.

He sat up and felt his chest.

No blood. His Bible had stopped the bullet.

Billy held it up, laughing.

"Holy shit!" he shouted. "Lucky Bible! Jesus has saved me!"

The gunslinger walked up to Billy and looked at the bullet-pierced Bible.

"So He has," said the scowling figure. "Right up to Deuteronomy."

"It's a miracle!" shouted Billy. "I am reborn! I will fight no more and stand at the right side of The Lord!"

"Here," said the gunslinger. "Let me help."

The gunslinger shot Billy in the head.
