A Kiss to Raise a Dead Man
by TG
"Artie, are you sure that you're all right?"
"Fine, Jim. My arms ache from being tied up, but that's all."
"I...I thought you were dead. When he shot you, I couldn't...I couldn't feel a heartbeat."
"Jim, it was only an imposter. I'm fine."
James West walked over to his partner. "I thought about how empty this train would seem; how empty my life would be--without you."
"My dear James, I have no intention of leaving you alone. How can I prove it to you that I'm alive?"
"Like this." Jim West kissed Artemus Gordon, who reciprocated most heartily.
