For some reason this reminds me of Edgar Allen Poe. Probably the strange narrative and slow build up of dread. Thanks for the read, Todd; I'll take great pleasure in chewing over this piece. One quibble: should "It is the horse?" really be a question, and if so, shouldn't it read "Is it the horse?"
"We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges." - Gene Wolfe
