Musket Man

Musket Man by a nose
West Side Bernie (1½ lengths behind)
General Quarters
Mr. Hot Stuff
Atomic Rain
Nowhere to Hide (hiding behind the pack)

[Scene change; standard 1.C]

In a time before zip codes
In a land sprawling out towards the brink of mediocrity –
            on the cusp of losing hegemony:
                        post-teeter towards [greatness – replace later, need alliteration]
                        pre-totter, but starting to stumble that way.
