A Fight Over a Horse

No big ideas at the moment. So today I wrote a mini-saga.

“What happened to you?" Mr. Coleman asked.

"I was in a fight, sir," I said.

"Over a girl?"

"No, sir," I said. "Over a horse."

Mr. Coleman looked me up and down. He grunted. "I hope you gave as good as you got."

"No, sir," I said evenly. "The horse came away without a scratch."
