HORSE SENSE… a 100 word story
There had been a fire at the barn, most likely started by a idiot cigarette. Got the animals out first, then set hither and skither to attack the blaze. Even that old fool of a circus horse got into the act by bringing me a garden hose. I squirted it a bit, then thought stronger measures were called for and filled buckets from the trough. It wasn’t much, just a little scarring in one of the old unused stalls. I’d spent time there with some of the girls. Now that damn horse, she looks at me with one eye raised.
