He looked over the fence and saw endless grass and flowers. At a short distance, flattened against a rock, a rattle snake tasted the air with its tongue. The horse shook his head and moved away from the fence; content to gallop around its enclosure where no danger awaited him.

Is it? I’ve been writing 50 word stories for awhile now, and there’s a bit of dark in it (snake). What’s so unusual about it?

Yes I know you have been writing them for a while. Snakes don’t make a story dark, Behavior does. I did not find this dark at all as the horse walked away. Do you find this story dark?

That’s me! That’s me! I’m in one of your poems! I’m the horse! There’s a lot of interesting stuff that I see in the blogs of people cycling across Australia, climbing Kilimanjaro, diving with manta rays, or whatever. I’ll daydream about it for a while, but then I remember that it’s a big, dangerous and (most of all) expensive world out there, so I turn again to my own safe little patch and pull up another mouthful of grass.
(I’m being metaphorical, by the way. I don’t literally eat grass.)
