The Death of the Dancing Horse
saddened Murtha. When Luna dropped by after
the Women's Convention, he told her.
"Well, don't wallow! Find out everything about him.
His mother and dad, the early training. More you
know, better you feel. Too bad you're not a
woman: We're learning to be afraid of nothing!
But, let me do it for you! Faster. She sat at the
computer. After a few seconds, Luna snapped
"You idiot! Walter didn't die, it was his 'amusing'
horse, Rory. All performers are high-pitched so
they need a...”
“I feel better! Nothing against...”
“Rory? A great card! Well, he's in Horse Laugh
Heaven, and you're still a moron!” she laughed.
A horse laugh, really. It seeped into the bricks
and was twisted out at night by the cold.
He frequently awoke to hear it.
Oddly, when they lived together, he never woke
up at night for any reason. Her daylight antics
exhausted him.
His own computer search, after she left, led him to
The Horse Entertainment Network. But that
ghosted out on the screen, and a banner blinked
red to tell him to press the red button on his
cable remote to attain this HEN.
He did, but had to okay an eight dollar a month surcharge.
Unfortunately, what he got concerned a lot of chickens!
But then, Bill Haspell came on and explained they thought
the chickens would be clever branding, a la HEN! He apologized
for the glitch and introduced the new branding, featuring,
of course, horses.
Murtha had then to endure Horses of Australia,
however the extraordinary aerial views to begin with.
But then, blessedly, World Horse News and the lead
story of training another ‘card’ to replace the departed Rory.
The search process had been complicated during his illness,
for most horses with humor were also cynical and lazy.
Popped up again Bill Haspell, offering T-Shirts convered
with hens. Seven dollars each, three for Twenty, but only
available in XXXXXLarge.
Bought three for sleeping–-Murtha liked roomy comfort there.
Sarcastic Luna would never see them in this new scheme
of things. She had encouraged him to get another girlfriend,
that he'd be doing her a favor, that she’d never ever be
jealous, etc. He knew better.
