But for the last few years, it had been too sick to eat and too weak to ride or pull a cart. It just stood in its stall, swaying on its broomstick legs and heaving its eyelids up and down over its smoggy eyes. We'd been an odd trio—my mom, her horse, and me. She refused to kill it, and it h

This makes me feel like this might have happened around where I live, not a lot of people are pretty rich here, and speak much like this, dark and light people alike. Hell, shit like this happens sometimes too.
