Description
Another short story written by Ted and a picture inspired by it!

Ted loved to race his two seater sports car more than anything, the thrill of pushing himself and the car to the limit was exhilarating. It was a beautiful summers day, the wind was in his hair as he accelerated into the blind corner on a very steep gradient.

Unfortunately for Ted, Mother Nature had a very rude awakening in store. As he turned the corner he was confronted with a rock slide, and hitting the brakes hard, the car started to spin uncontrollably.

The car plummeted off the road, through an ancient rusting barrier and downwards toward the ravine, Ted screaming all the while. Mercifully his descent was halted abruptly by a tree growing out of the side of the mountain.

How long he stayed there, too terrified to move, he couldn’t say. It might have been hours, or days. No cell signal this far out. Just as he was giving up hope he heard the sound of horses hooves approaching and hope soared in his chest.

He didn’t dare turn around to look in case the movement sent the car further down the ravine, but as he was nervously waiting he felt a tug, and then suddenly the car started moving slowly but steadily back up the cliff. He was being towed … by a horse ?

After what felt like an eternity the car was back safely on the road. He turned to his rescuer and came face to thigh with the biggest and cutest woman he had ever laid eyes on.

“You .. you rescued me”, he stammered, still unable to believe his luck.

“We’ll of course”, she replied, holding out an enormous hand for him to shake. He blinked back tears as she almost crushed his much smaller hand in hers.

“Oops, sorry, I forget that I’m a bit stronger than regular folk”, she grinned. “Hi! My names Cammie, what’s yours cutie?”

“Te .. Te .. Ted”, he stammered.

“We’ll Ted, you seem to be ok. More than I can say for that little car of yours”, she said, standing next to his mangled sports car which looked like a toy compared to her.

“Reckon we ought to get you home”, she said, mounting her enormous horse and pulling him up in front of her in one smooth motion. She held the reins in one hand and her other wrapped around him protectively, keeping him safer than a seat belt and harness ever could.
