Thick smog suffocated the air , as the rain fell heavily onto the hard turned over ground . There was a dip in the flooring that had filled into a puddle , overflowing just so . a mans laced up boot stomped into it pushing the water out before re filling . By following him we see him join another man and back away suddenly with a grunt .
"Load up horse" said the man waving a stick with a flag at the end of it
There's a lightning strike . It comes sudden. It's startling. There's a horse . It's eyes roll wide and white and we see anger and fear combine into a mixture of danger . More men shout around as light flickers through the gaps of the trailer
Over all the commotion we hear an assertive voice " don't let go of that rope - move them out - Jesus!"
there's a crack; but we don't where or what from . There's more moving around . More thunder . More rage
" watch your self !"
There's a pause as a clatter of hooves begin to sound
" don't let him go !"
The horse kicks out violently , catching two men with his hooves , leaving them winded on the floor , attempting to crawl away .
The horse turned sharply to the lower side of the fencing ,charring up ground , moving at speed to the rail where it clears it swiftly
Theres deep breathing of all the people around but everything seems to darken ... everything seems to fade away

The day was crisp and clear ,the sun pored through the window like liquid gold . A chorus of chipping birds perched on the tree next to the house sat wakefully in the cool summers air . The sky was bright big and blue ,and the grass swayed slowly in the 6:39 type of breeze .
lindy woke up sluggishly, the sleep in her eyes gluing them shut , begging for another snooze soon was brushed off by her well manicured hand. She took the clothes from her wardrobe and got dressed after applying her mascara brows and foundation . Today was an important day,well, an exciting day .
Still tired she went into the bath room and straighten her unruly curly hair before placing a hair band in , pushing it neatly backwards. She checked her self in the mirror once more ; took a photo and nodded.
There was a ratta tat tat at the door
" morning " the voice said before disappearing with footsteps
She opened it and walked into the kitchen "morning mum"
Amy came over to her and placed a kiss on the crown of her head " you look lovley!"
Lindy gave a twirl and smiled . Slightly slipping in her slippers .
" so you excited?" Amy asked
" a yes, a school trip to the leach infested lake, camping with mosquitos and human eating bears, and dining kumbya. What's not to love?"
" hey when I was your age , that trip was my favourite, we wouldn't go to see the wild-"
" wild horses. Yeah I know. Funny enough, there's horses in my garden . Once you see one horse, you kinda see them all" Lindys eyes went past her mother , setting on the heap of camping bags and equipment resting on the frame of the door " ew do I really need to carry that ?"
