Plot Summary: Heather has planned a relatively calm summer day. She is responsible for "ranch-sitting" for her riding instructor, but figures she can take care of the horses and still have time for a dip in the pool. Her friend Christine even volunteers to help her out. Everything seems to be going smoothly -- until she sees the smoke on the horizon.
Instead of relaxing with her friend, Heather must get 4 frightened horses to safety on her own before flames reach the ranch.
Bottom Line: Excellent (although I would like one of the loose ends tied up -- I suspect a happy ending for that one would be too unrealistic, though).

Sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you - I edited the story and considered tying up that loose end, but considering the most likely option of our runaway, I thought leaving it alone was better than 'finishing' it. Glad you enjoyed it!
