Dribbles and Drabbles -


ESCAPE

 

‘Another, Joe?’

‘Better not. I’ve already left her too long’.

He surrendered the empty glass and went home.

The house was silent.

Panicking, he raced up the stairs to her room and his heart sank.

Bed empty, window wide open, curtains flapping.  

Fuck! She had really done it this time.

EQUINE PURSUITS

  

‘I can do this! I can do this!’ Naomi repeated to herself as she looked up at the big grey.

Her New Year resolution was to ride a horse.

Normally a fearless person, she had been bungee jumping, Naomi was terrified of horses; they were so huge and unpredictable.

As she stepped toward the beast it moved. She froze.

‘I can do this! I can do this!’ she whimpered.

The animal halted.

‘Ready?’ asked Jake who was holding the reins. She nodded and mounted.

Once she was seated, Jake gave a signal to the operator who slowly started the carousel.
