Yearning

[likethewind]

All I've ever known all my life is work. It doesn't matter whether its dealt by a kind human or a cruel man, work is all I've ever known. Each day, I'm worked. Its like a cycle that never ends. I know I'll be worked just as much as I know the sun will rise in the east and set in the west. My limbs ache and my mind hungers for more. My legs no longer want to run, I tire of this life.

I can see Elle coming across the yard, carrying my feed. I whinny, but I no longer feel like running to the gate. I know I'll get my feed anyway. Over in the shed, I can see a small child. Probably just a visitor of no importance but it makes me think. A foal, a baby, thats what I want. Something to protect, to nurture. Its only natural I guess to want such things.

I saunder over to the gate and stick my head in my feed. As I'm eating I hear a whinny of a stallion at the next ranch. My ears prick up and then down again as I continue to munch on my food.

ooc: There seems to be a bit of a mix up. Glinda is the mare owned by Robert Collins on Red Bronc Ranch. Fleet is the mare that Elle owns here on Iron Star. I can move this thread to the Red Bronc Ranch if you'd like... or you can switch out Glinda for Fleet by writing another application. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
