Summary
Boyd wears myth like he wears his suit, flat against his skin, just-right, sharp at his wrists and too-tight about his neck, the ghost of a dog-collar everyone can see but that same everyone is too afraid to mention. He died on Ava’s floor, under Raylan’s hands, as he will die again one day, blood flowing from him like a river, returning to Harlan’s hungry earth. He will die and he will die, and be born again until the time he isn’t, until the last of his nine lives is gone. The truth is that he was born to die, like every one of Harlan’s sons, born to become the myth he wears like a weapon, and he will die as many times as Harlan requires him to, until he becomes immortal in the death that waits for him, down in the mine where he failed to die the first time.
