Doc Holliday page 4 by ric gustafson
Not far from the hotel he was staying at, Doc Holliday stared at a vacant storefront. Wearing a dark suit, a gold watch chain around his middle and a narrow brimmed hat, he stuck his pistol in his waistband.
His stare became a grin. This storefront would be perfect for his new dental practice. He was trained to be a dentist. That is why his nickname was Doc. The first thing he did was rent the storefront by the month. Then he went to a cabinetmaker. He ordered a reclining chair with a padded headrest. His plan was to open shop within the week.
Later that evening, Holliday walked through the sporting district. The district covered 3 city blocks. Holliday had a drink at some of the dives.
Holliday's favorite game was draw poker. Jacks or better to open. Check and raise permitted. The dive he chose to be his favorite was the Acme Gaming Palace.
That first night, Holliday was 50 dollars ahead.
