This is a story about a horse, a mirror, and a gun. Look closely, my friends, for today ends an era. Remember to click the play button above, please.

A black shire horse sat in front of his computer, the monitor casting an eerie glow on the room around him. He wasn't much to look at- rather underbuilt for his breed, and with a white block of a muzzle blaze that the other horses might call unnatural at best. He did have quite the faithful circle of friends, and for that he was grateful.
But one thing bugged him, and that is the subject of todays tale. Innocence- often professed, never believed, but why? The equine did not know, for he had done his best to be so. Living well, being polite and unintrusive, sometimes to his detriment. Knowing the importance of life, and frowning on those who would mock it.
"I'm innocent!" the shire would cry. "Anything but!" the minotaur would reply. "Sinnocent is more like it." the Unicorn would often say. "You're a silly colt", said the other horses on more than one occasion.
They would all laugh, and nothing would be thought of it, and the shire would just keep on keeping on in childlike nature. But one day, a thought entered his mind, and as he turned off the computer, ghostlike, a whisper came in his ear, causing it to twitch.
"You're not innocent... and you know it's because you have me."
The stallion looked around nervously, knowing the house was empty except for his faithful malamutt companion, "No..... it can't be. You don't exist. I won't let you.... you can't be here....!" He whispered under his breath, knowing perfectly well he probably sounded quite crazy, having a conversation with himself. And then, he spared a glance into the mirror over the piano, and gave a startled whinny in fright. "N-no!!"
Looking back at him in the mirror, was a similar horse, but this one with crimson eyes, and a hide blacker than black, with no markings to be seen. Even as the shire stared, the image spoke to him. "Dawww, did you miss me? You won't be rid of me that easily, I'm afraid. I can help you, you know..."
The horse blinked his eyes and shook his head vigorously, but the image remained.... "I know what your kind of help is! It's not any kind of help at all! Just....go away!!" He was shouting now, at the mirror reflection of himself, mind racing... he was really losing it.
The image of the black horse in the mirror simply threw his head back in an otherworldly whinny of a laugh that was hearable only to the shire... "You and I both know that's not possible... you should embrace me, you know. Then you can be just like everyone else..."
The shire threw his hands up in exasperation, getting up and pulling a case out of the corner...opening it showed a loaded rifle, which trembling, the stallion took out of the case... a gun. Was he really picking up a gun? That which he had sworn was the work of no good thing? Tears sprang to the shires eyes, and the image laughed all the more....
