Truth or Consequences

     Example is the best precept. -Aesop


     Outside, Paul secures the lamps and tools in the saddlebags on Maggie's back.


     I put my foot in the stirrup and pull myself halfway up. My body comes back down onto the ground with a thud.


     "It's getting dark. You sure you want to ride alone?" Paul's face is stern.


     Taking in my surroundings, I realize just how dark it really is. Shrugging my shoulders, I saunter heavy-footed over to where Paul is standing. Taking Maggie's reins, he secures them to the back of Elroy's saddle and pulls himself up onto the horse's back. I clutch his extended hand, and he hoists me up onto the seat in front of him.


     My phone goes off. I wiggle to retrieve it from my pocket.


     "It's Maria, I'll let her know we're on our way home."


     Elroy walks. Tilting my head back, I stare into the dark, starry sky and huff.
