The Return Of Ghost Pony: An Occupational Hazard>Act 30

Disclaimer: A horse has no future. It cannot greet the sun and say today will be better. It can only reflect upon days of past. It is our job to create a positive past. There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse. Hard is to teach an old horse amble true. Fiction can be that way sometimes. Any similarities to persons living or dead are purely coincidental & should not be taken or misconstrued as such. Anyone who thinks otherwise probably believes that they have almost forgotten how strange a thing it is that so huge and powerful and intelligent an animal as a horse should allow another and far feebler animal, to ride upon its back.

Late in the morning you can see it…then it disappears, only to reappear in the late afternoons and then, as quickly as it appears, it disappears!

It looks as if Ghost Pony has returned!

Ghost Pony is an apparition that only some prisoners on Devil’s Island can see and a few members of Upper Prison Brass and even some of the security detail can feel brush up against their bodies!

Ghost Pony began appearing nearly 36 months ago at a time when Devil’s Island prisoners felt uneasy about their individual futuristic fates.

Legend has it that Ghost Pony is a figment of the imagination, a shadow in the sunlight, splashed upon the grey prison walls.

Rumors about Ghost Pony certainly exist, but perhaps the greatest endorsement of Ghost Pony lie within the tale that Broadcast Betty tells to those who are eager to listen.

Ghost Pony,” Broadcast Betty begins, “appeared on a cold dreary afternoon when no one was minding the store, when Upper Prison Brass and their varying counterparts were off discussing plans to devise new methods to deflate prison population, that is when Ghost Pony came,” Broadcast Betty says.

Ghost Pony cheered everyone up who was feeling disillusioned and despondent about life in general on Devil’s Island. Ghost Pony was a harmonious soul, a brilliant mass of flesh who galloped across the many hearts within Devil’s Island whether or not it was meant to be.”

Ghost Pony took a liking to those who fed her kindness, attention and most of all, superficial love, for that was the only type of love Ghost Pony was capable of returning,” snapped Broadcast Betty.

Those who saw Ghost Pony in the early days like Roger Dogma says that Ghost Pony is truly real and does actually exist, despite the nay-sayers that creep about Devil’s Island.

Then there are the harsh skeptics like The G5Unit who have both collectively and openly said that Ghost Pony is only a recurring nightmare that someone conjured up late one night at a secret meeting between Devil’s Island gang leaders, in an attempt to declare a truce scare tactic between rivaling factions.

Typical response, considering that The G5Unit is behind one of the greatest Ghost Pony Handicapping Numbers Scandals in the history of Devil’s Island, second only to the infamous Johnny Vegas’ Numbers Game.

It has even been suggested that Ghost Pony has come back to Devil’s Island to soothe the remaining burning embers that has arise recently among new allegations that Upper Prison Brass is biding time before they launch an all-out war to the finish!

Still, situations can change at any given moment here, for after all, this is Devil’s Island!
