This chapter introduce the main character. His name is Roland of Gilead. He is a gunslinger that is after a man called "the man in black". He start pursuit him through the desert. Rolad want´s to arrive to a place called "The dark tower", and the first step to do so, is to find "the man in black". While he is traveling through the desert in his mule, he decides to stop and rest in a bar. While he is in the bar, he start to remember when he was at the Tull´s town. "The man in in black" was at Tull´s town before Roland, and he convinced all the people to turn against Roland. Roland, with no other way, killed all the people from the town. This memory is very painful to Roland, but he decides that he can stop his quest for things like this, and that he must continue with his journey. All of this, is happening in a parallel universe from ours.
