"Well,obviously,the boy didn't come home.I couldn't get him in time.I was forced out.Oh,I knew this day would come.Why did it have to happen?Why did I....."He stopped,realizing what he'd almost said.He sighed before sitting down and saying,"Honey,I've never been perfectly honest with you.You remember that day when all the mares and fillies go out and leave us boys alone?"He asked.

"I know I am lucky,but I think I've finally run out of luck.It wasn't his choice to stay there,I feared more for my own life than his freedom.I wanted to break down those doors,but instead,I ran like a coward."He still lay in the grass."I wish I could have died there,to show him to never stop trying."
