As some of you may know, writersblock242 has posted a oneshot. I urge you to read it, and if you've read it, I urge you to check out the changes. Quite a bit of work went into this one, and I'm sure writersblock242 would love any reviews ;)

Just read it. Found one tiny little thing that ought to be fixed but it's nothing major.

“Curly got broke his arm after you got hauled in. Fell of a fucking telephone pole,”

The word "got" should be deleted for the sentence to make sense and "of" should be "off". Or, if casual speech is the goal, try something like:
“Curly got his arm broke after you got hauled in. Fell off a fucking telephone pole,”

But aside from that, it was nice to see an exchange between Dallas and Tim.

Edited to add: And I have left a review as well.

Put on your big girl panties and deal with it!

Don't be the person who lights up a room by leaving it.

Thanks! I feel so honored. (I fixed the changes you suggested RM)
I have left borderline obsession and I am driving away in my blue 66' mustang, laughing at the borderline for being so far away. -Me about The Outsiders (shoot, Randy got a new car.)

"Remembering. Remembering a handsome, dark boy with a reckless grin and a hot temper. A tough, tow-headed boy with a cigarette in his mouth and a bitter grin on his hard face. Remembering-and this time it didn't hurt-a quiet, defeated-looking sixteen year old whose hair needed cutting badly and who had black eyes with a frightened expression on them. One week had taken them all."
