Experiencing Interruptions?

Western Stories, or Westagram

Work In Progress - Clancy is a down on his luck cowboy wary of thots. Lorraine and Durella are two saloon girls looking for a little validation. They all cross paths as they navigate the rough terrain of the West and the even rougher terrain of being liked on... WESTAGRAM!

It's a topsy turvy Wild West out there and everyone is fixated on social media. What happens when the Old Frontier mixes with the new?
