About this ebook
Pet thought he'd slammed the door shut on his past, on his dreams, and on the centaur herd that raised him. Now there's another herd runaway standing on his doorstep; one who won't take no for an answer.

Fall
By Alex Draven
Fuck off!
The second centaur didn’t budge.
For fuck's sake. It was too hot to move, the air heavy and about set to start pissing down with rain, and he'd left his cigarettes inside.
Nigh on twenty minutes since the knock had rung through the warehouse and he still wasn't quite self-destructive enough to turn his back on a strange stallion standing in his own front drive.
I said, fuck off. I'm not interested.
The little bastard just stood there, arms crossed, and one hind leg cocked, the very picture of relaxed patience.
It was winding him up. Another few minutes of silence and nothing had changed except his mood.
Oh for fuck's sake. Stand there as long as you like. I've got things to do.
Pet backed up a couple of paces, shaking his head and whisking his tail, and then snagged the door, pulling it closed.
Fuck.
He let out a kick that left the walls of the warehouse ringing.
Roll on thunder.
Roll on thunder and air conditioning and Cashman's Royals, and a bottle or six of beer.
Roll on forgetting and not having ghosts from your fucking past turn up on in the front yard and look at you, like you owed it to them to live up to whatever fucked-up expectations they had.
The movements between the kitchen benches and the fridge - lighting up, grabbing a beer, kicking the dented door shut again - were an easy ritual. Familiar. The beer and the smoke felt good too. Pet raised an eyebrow and a mock-toast to the ceiling when a crash of thunder rattled the walls again and the heavy drumming of rain started up.
Three out of four. Not bad.
