Equus Caballus

The Plot

Have you ever felt trapped, helpless almost as if you left a certain place you would die? Well for those of you who haven’t, it’s something so mortifyingly frightening that you couldn’t even hope to understand or imagine those who have had to deal, or are dealing with this fear.

Agoraphobic: One who has a fear of public places, fear of leaving a safe place.

Nestled in serenity between a single large clump of mountains, are the lands of Equus Callabus, and in it lives a single herd of mustangs. These horses have been born and bred here, remaining completely isolated and untouched from the outside world. Though this doesn’t seem to bother the inhabitants of the area, but why doesn’t it? Is there really such a strong reason to want to shut out the world? Fear can make anyone do anything, it can drive them into the depths of insanity and perhaps these horses would be considered somewhere between abnormal and insane to an outsider.

The thought of leaving their precious lands had never really crossed their minds until it was attempted but only once. As the story goes, this dense horse attempted to travel the distance and ascend upwards to escape. Whether it was of natural causes, or what the others claim the unmentionables, this vagabond did not make it to the other side alive. Despite others beliefs, the leaders of the herd did believe that it was not just the bitter cold that killed the drifter, it was something much more dangerous than snow covered with thick ice – these things that they claimed were responsible were labeled simply as the unmentionables and they were not to be mentioned.

The balance between this herd and the ‘unmentionables’ is considered sacred, and the inhabitants of these lands will go to great lengths to maintain such a balance. They have all become so accustomed to their own way of life and to them, the outside world itself ceases to exist for any of the residents. Some of these horses do at times find themselves wondering what goes on but these thoughts are never voiced for they will be dealt with by punishments that are a bit extreme. All of these horses are agoraphobics, some worse than others, and they fear nothing but leaving their safe place – the lands of Equus Callabus.
