Black Horse
Jess and Cindy went out riding. It had been several weeks since Cindy’s miscarriage, and the gloom was still around her. Jess watched her anxiously. As they rode, a big black horse suddenly appeared in front of them. It was black as a storm cloud and it’s hoofbeats sounded like thunder. Instinctively Cindy chased it, with Jess following behind. Then the black horse disappeared, and Cindy brought her horse to a halt. Once Jess caught up with her, she found Cindy motionless and staring into space.
“What was that?” Jess asked.
“Some sort of phantom.” Cindy replied, feeling uneasy.

First, I felt the sadness of their loss. Then the chills hit me at the sight of a phantom horse. It does beg for what next!

I wonder what the appearance of the horse signifies. I hope it’s something good.

They might see it again in a future story. They were just going for a ride.
