Faces In The Crowd At The Horse Show, Fiction Fragments

🐴🐴🐴

Well, this is an interesting first date. You drag me all the way out here to watch your kid go around in circles. Do you ride? Or do we just watch? I mean, it this even a sport? The kid just sits there.

Okay, I get it. I’m either down for kid-centered activities or don’t waste your time. It does have an element of efficiency. Weed ’em out early.

Horse show from the POV of a barn cat. Oooh, new people. You may pet me. You may pet me. And you. Not you. You may pet me.

Horse show from the POV of a carrot. CHOMP.

Alien Commander: Where are you off to now?

Alien Scout: A horse show.

Alien Commander: What are your mission parameters?

Alien Scout: Understand the human desire to compete.

Alien Commander: You’ve done your research on the dominant species this time?

Alien Scout: Yes. Pat the horses. Talk to the humans

Alien Commander: We don’t want a repeat of what happened at the dog show.

(Pause to shake vestigial wings/shudder)

Afterword

Shorter than I had hoped. The day set aside to expand these turned out to be a bit of a day. Going forward with these pieces on the theory that something is better than nothing.
