Willow

 


        Deep in the valley, past the place where GPS signals dare not go, there is a pond so peaceful even the frogs meditate. It is here that Willow, a mare with the social finesse of a squirrel at a tea party, comes to reflect—mostly on how grass tastes different depending on her mood.

        Willow is semi-retired and fully relaxed. She insists on visiting the pond at sunrise, because she believes the light hits her mane just right—she calls it her "golden hour glow."

        One morning, she bent down to take a sip and caught a glimpse of her reflection. “Wow,” she whispered. “I still got it.” The pond, thoroughly unimpressed, gurgled softly.

        As the sun rose, Willow struck a pose, just in case an eagle overhead was filming for a nature documentary. She stood there, majestic-ish.
