Fanny
blinked at the early morning sunlight. Another day, just like all the others…
She would go along,
doing her job, making frequent
starts and stops. And always always hearing
the same clattering and chattering. ‘This is such
a plodding bore, Fanny reflected. The weight of her servitude lay upon her, heavy as
cast iron.
Fanny over-heard
Harold talking with Maude as he poured his coffee. She could barely catch the conversation without
being obvious, but she did distinctly heard three very important words: slaughter house and glue.
Desperation gripped her.
Fanny kicked down
the rotten stall door and took off running at a pace she did not realize she still
possessed.
As the green
rolling pastures passed beneath her hooves, Fanny recalled an old stallion
named Big Boy, a stud from days gone by.
‘Big Boy, get ready! Here I come!’
Thank you, Delores, for another set of challenging words. Please go to Under the Porch Light to find other writers who have heard the call and written some creative posts!
Off to another realm, fanny telling all to kiss her fanny
ReplyDeleteLet us hope Fanny can have success.
DeleteRun Fanny, Run..... Great job Susan.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Delores. If the will is strong enough, Fanny may succeed.
DeleteWhat does that mean? That Fanny will get pregnant and won't have to go to the glue factory?
ReplyDeleteHarold and Maude...TeeHee That was a fun old movie.
Horses are valuable, and if Fanny is caring a foal, then she is spared. At least for a while.
DeleteWonderfully done. I am visiting from Delores' blog :)
ReplyDeleteGood to meet you! Thanks for the comments!
DeleteI wonder if it was the estrus or the glue that brought that door down. :)
ReplyDeleteIt works for most studs and mares!
DeleteOH this looks like fun! Fanny was the name of the cafe I used to work at :) Nice word to play with, I think of my co-workers fat fanny as she trys to press her way into the elevatore, hee hee. Thanks for visiting today, been too long.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. Summer flew by, and my extra time with it!
ReplyDeleteI do hope that Big Boy is up to the job. And that she succeeds in her aim.
ReplyDeleteOld loves never give up on each other. And estrus is almost always a sure thing.
Deletei love it--and gorgeous pics :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful. An animal very close in my heart.
ReplyDeleteI like this. Nothing like overhearing slaughterhouse to get a horse up and running again. You did really well.
