    About this ebook

    Sadness is a horse who has lost herself in the grind and drudgery of a hard, working life. She is alone, listless and without hope. Having outlived her usefulness, her owner puts her on a truck and sends her away on what it is to be her final journey, but something happens along the way... A short story.
