She dreamt of falling. Did falling be the way she expected? She pondered, time and time again, about the feeling. She wanted to prepare herself for the numbing impact of being impaled against the hard, cold rubble. the one friend that keeps you up, hugs you so close that the magnetic attraction pulls at your organs and yearns to taste blood.

Lightning struck to her death, but also to invite life and there was the babe, sworn to be protected till the end of eternity. The foal neighs. Swearing never to fall. But desperately wanting to.
