Pegasus (99 Words)

The Pegasus did not look impressed. Horses are not often sympathetic to their riders’ plights, and flying horses are no different. Sucking in a breath Juniper was sure was her last, she climbed on her friend’s back.
The blue morning was startled by a whoop. The rabbits in the garden took to their holes and the gardener, old Mrs. Shoemaker, shaded her eyes with a suffering sigh.
“You’re going to get sunburned!” she yelled. “You forgot your lotion, silly girl!”

Your stories express both whimsy and realism in balance. I enjoy your writing and the influence of an imp as a muse.
