A Detailed Representation Of Flames by Thomas Mixon in Lost Balloon

The dead horse has more strength than usual so it goes out. There are wildfires and the big race is cancelled. It finds the jockey who rode it when it died; it threw him off and broke his leg, which was good.

The jockey is wondering if his daughter is in one of the cafes. She called him up to meet but he didn’t want to, so yesterday he stayed in bed. Now he’s in a café, talking to the staff.

Angie is wondering if that man is her father. The one who was a jockey. The one who was rescued from the crash by a tourist, one he made love to and then disappeared. He seems like the kind of man to do that.

The kind of man to be pushed around by a dead horse.
