Was It a Hallucination?
Have you had a hard time concentrating lately? Even with all this time on my hands, I've found it difficult to write or be productive on any task that requires focus. I think the undercurrent of uncertainty, anxiety, and perhaps a bit of sadness over what's been lost has caused this. Emotions have a way of hijacking one's brain and taking it for a ride. In this scene, Cory has just experienced a traumatic event and on the way home late at night she looks up and sees a horse standing in the middle of road. Is it real? Or have her emotions taken over and caused her to see things that aren't there? Read the short story DREAM HORSE and find out.
Book Excerpt
Dream Horse
The rain slows, so I turn down the wipers. The time on the dashboard tells me I’ve still got a half hour before midnight. I reach out for the radio dial again, and an NPR-perfect announcer’s voice fills the interior with news of some political scandal. I push the off button and look up.
A horse is standing in the middle of the road.
I stomp the brake and hold it down as the reverberations pulse up my leg. As the car tips downhill, it skids along slick pavement. I put my other foot on the brake, both of them pressing, both of them shaking. The back end of the car starts to swing around. It’s not stopping.
