The Leap of Shards and Hooves by Kilmeny MacMichael

The Leap of Shards and Hooves

.

There’s a horse trapped in the shed

what are you talking about

I saw it

that’s impossible

it’s got a white face

must have been a reflection

maybe it’s a unicorn

unicorns aren’t real

if it’s trapped in the glass we have to get it out

they were ibex or narwhal or something like that

we have to free it

there’s nothing

…

see? see? you saw it too!

must have to do with how old the glass is

warping the way we see something inside

so much junk in there

its not junk

there is something

be careful, it might be angry when you open the door

I don’t know

wait – are you a maiden?

none of your business, why won’t this knob

hurry!

hand me that rock and stand back.
