Surviving Suffering

Junior had been missing for a day and 21 hours now

Kris was sitting in her trailer with Sheryl Crows song the first cut is the deepest playing softly in the backround

She was so tired and couldn't stop thinking about how stupid she had been to break up with Junior

She was so afraid of him hurting her that he had run away and now she didn't know if he was alive or dead it was 2am but she could not fall asleep she just stood there waiting for a phone call to end her suffering

she decided to go see wildfire to talk to him


She quietly crept into the barn but didn't dare turn on any lights

Wildfire greeted her with affectionate whicker and pranced around her looking for a hug and maybe some treats

She gave him a hug and a kiss on the soft part of his nose. Then she got on him bareback and just sat there looking down from his back on the world around her. She felt so different up there like nothing could touch her. But wildfire wasn't her horse and she couldn't just take him for a gallop around the track Pablo would kill her. So she jumped down to the ground and wildfire heaved a sigh of dissapointment that he wouldn't be going for a ride anytime soon. She laughed as she looked at his facial expression which was a pouting look like he was dissapointed that she wasn't going to get his tack. She whispered tomorrow boy tomorrow we'll just go and forget everything just leave it all behind. Then she gave him another kiss and slipped out of his stall quietly. But before she could reach the barn door Pablo came running in and relaxed as soon as he saw it was just kris. He went over to her and said "kris wat are you doing up so late you have to wake up in 3 hours" she apologized and left Pablo with a worried expression on his face. Then she went back to her trailer after an hour of tossing and turning she finally fell into a deep sleep. She awoke at five shaking the nightmare of junior lying hurt somewhere out of her head. Quickly getting dressed


Then she started off for the track seeing that wildfire was already there and smiled for the first time in the past 1 day and 26 hours…………..
