Equid Name: Witchitah
Short Story: [based from events that have happened with my own horse.]
---The Fence
Witchitah had always seemed to share a special connection with fences. With a personality as flighty and excitable as hers, she often found herself heading straight for them whenever she was startled or playing.
Once, when she was just four months old, Witchitah and her mother had finally been let out to run after a couple of rainy days spent cooped up in their stall. The two of them bounded through the pasture, Witchitah closely following her mother. Suddenly, her mother veered sharply to the left, narrowly avoiding a steel-post and wire fence. Witchitah, not reacting quite as quickly, slipped on the slick, rain soaked ground. Instead of stopping, she slid forward and with a burst of energy, flew through the air like a seasoned jumper attempting to clear the fence.
But she was unsuccessful... Witchitah’s back left leg became tangled in the fence. With a startled whinny, she stopped midair and ended up in a heap in the ditch on the otherside. Her rear leg was caught in the wire, stretched awkwardly above her. She scrambled and kicked, but the little filly was trapped, lying on her side, unable to free herself. She laid there until rescue came ten minutes later. She was not hurt from the event but her ankle will click from time to time.
Sometime later after being weaned from her mom, Witchitah encountered something strange. A white plastic grocery bag. It fluttered across the dirt, crinkling with every bound. She’d never seen anything like it before, and in an instant, her fear kicked in. She bolted away, her wide eyes fixed on the bag as though it were chasing her.
Then—CRACK!
In her panic, Witchitah crashed straight through a wooden slat fence. She tumbled to the ground, stunned but unharmed. She quickly popped back to her hooves and huffed, looking around, almost embarrassed. The terrifying bag? Completely forgotten.
Congratulations! You have won the Silver Black Sabino Friday the 13th girl! The concept of an equid that no matter what she's trying to do will always run into whatever fence is nearby accidentally is so funny to me. What a cute idea!
This was a tough one though XD I had to call in outside help for judging. You guys are amazing storytellers!
