I can barely see straight… everything is spinning.

He drove me so hard that my vision blurred. My eyes crossed, and for a moment I was seeing two streets at once. If he had pushed me just one street further, I think I would’ve simply collapsed in the harness. I’ve seen him drive ponies before… and I always hoped he’d never choose me. Well… today he did.

When we finally stopped, I must have looked ready to fall. Some Lady I didn’t know - though clearly familiar with him - came over to adjust my chains and cuffs. She could see I was at my limit. Her hands were gentle… firm… practiced.

No water though. But… I guess I shouldn’t ask for too much. Not when I’m swaying, breathing through my bit, trying not to drop to the ground like a broken thing.

Just… give me a moment. My legs… they’re still shaking.
