Run Free!!!

Awaken by a gently breeze brushing her cheek, she opens her eyes, looks around and find herself on what it seems like the top of a highland, surrounded with hills that forms a valley and grass so green that it separated itself clearly from the light blue sky. She stands up on her feet, looks up and saw a herd of moving creature standing on top of a rising ground, not far away from herself. Filled with curiosity, she move herself closer towards the herd of creature.

The nearer she walks towards the creatures, the clearer the creatures' appearance. It was a herd of horses, tall, broad, strong in sight. Their fur so beautiful and shinny when the sunlight reflects to the creatures. She was filled with excitement but take slow steps, hoping not to surprise the creatures with her sudden appearance. The horses noticed her presence and surprisingly, was not startled. Taking a bold step, she walks closer and placed her hand on their body, and the creature remains calm, as if they are used having her around them. Filled with joy, she walks towards each and every horses, touching them and feeling their soft warm furs with her arms and cheek, enjoying the cool breeze blowing though the valley.

After a while playing with the horses, she is curious with why does the creature choose to remain on the same spot without going anywhere, "they should run freely across the field, out of this valley and over the mountain, run to anywhere their heart desires, be anywhere they wish to! "

So she started to make the horses move, she shouts, "run! run free!", nothing happens. She start patting each and every one of the horses one by one, pulling their tail, touching their head, pushing them to move at least an inch away from where they are, but the horses remained still. She gives up, panting and exhausted with with her effort, thinking to herself, "why are they not moving at all? Why do they insist to stay here...?"

She lay down on the grass beside the gentle creatures, looking at them, smiling. The gentle breeze start brushing her cheeks again, this time slowly putting her to sleep....
