What would you do if you were alone? What if it hadn't always been that way, would that change your answer? And if someone wished to step in and fill that void, someone you least expected, would you say yes? A widowed stallion reminisces about the event that led him down the path he now lives with. He forgets, then remembers.

This piece is one of, if not the only, I've written in first-person and it was definitely a different experience. This is also one of the darkest short stories I've written, which is kind of saying something. I really wanted to dig deep into that dark pit that one must fall into after experiencing something like this, and try to lay a solid foundation for what I hope will be a short series. I don't have any outlines for the next few stories this would cover so don't hold your breath waiting on them.

Anyway, do mind the tags and I welcome feedback. As always, my stories never get a second pass for proofreading so if you spot mistakes, that's why.
