Story 200: Whispers of the Sunset

The sun was sinking behind the hills, casting long shadows over the quiet plains. Anna sat on the porch of her small cottage, gazing at the horizon, waiting. The warmth of the fading day wrapped around her like a familiar blanket, but there was a tension in the air, something pulling her toward the edge of the wild.

For as long as she could remember, she had been drawn to horses. Their elegance, strength, and wild spirit resonated with something deep inside her. But there was one horse, a legendary stallion named Ember, who had captured her imagination. Every villager had heard of him—the horse that only appeared at sunset, galloping along the shoreline with the waves at his feet. No one had ever managed to get close, yet those who saw him felt touched by something extraordinary.
