Chapter #9

Watery Demise

    by: The Black Man Author IconMail Icon
Though staying in the stables is not your ultimate desire, going outside does not encourage you either. Walking on the stall walls is relatively easy as the planks are wide and smooth. The quarter horse has its back to you and is completely oblivious to your movements. Below you is a large bucket filled with water which you could dive into, but the water is not high enough for you to reach the edge to climb out. Hence, you decide to continue on.

Away from your attention, a fly flies in through the window and lands on the quarter horse's backside. The horse lazily swishes its tail to swat it off, but catches you with some of its tail hairs. Your balance is lost and you stumble head first into the water bucket below. The water is cold causing your heart to miss a beat as you plop in. Desperately, you try to scramble out of the bucket, but the sides are too smooth and steep for that. There is nothing you can do as you attempt to stay afloat hoping that something might save you. Your prayers do not go unanswered.

The massive head of the quarter horse appears over the bucket and descends towards you. At first you think it would help you, but when it ignores you and sinks its nose into the water your true panic begins. The horse greedily sucks water into its mouth and the suction created by it pulls you in. Your attempts to swim against the current are futile and you are quickly slurped up. All orientation is lost as you are tossed around inside the mouth. The horse tastes you, but lazily assumes you are just a piece of scrap food. Without further delay it pushes the water to the back and swallows you down.
