Prompt
This Texas town was so dangerous… they erased it. In the late 1800s, a town called Helena sat along the river in South Texas. Today, it’s barely a dot on the map. But at one point… it was booming. Helena wasn’t just any town. It was called the “toughest town on earth.” Shootouts in the streets. Outlaws everywhere. Lawmen getting killed doing their jobs. People didn’t visit Helena… they survived it. Then came the turning point. A feud between a powerful rancher and the railroad. When the railroad line was being planned… Helena was supposed to be a major stop.
