When they're shooting their bow and arrows he made sure they had rattlesnake venom on them. Geronimo, they chase him off again, yes, and he'll hide behind a bush, and then they'll see a hawk flying off. And a few miles off they'll see him again, and he'll hide behind a rock and then they'll see a coyote running off. They try and shoot him and the bullet melts against his skin. That's the kind of Apache he was. A bad one. That's why I'm proud to be Apache
-stories the two Apache's told me while the sky began to fill with thunder-

AN IMPERFECT ENDING
A PERFECT START TOWARDS A GREAT NEW BEGINNING
More than 15 years ago we almost had this film done but a series of unfortunate events changed the road to something more heartbreaking than I could have imagined. This was one sketch I created as a possible ending to that film. But somethings are not meant to be. But sharing this here is proof that one should never give up. You just never know what miracles might be coming your way where and when you least expect them to.
