A newborn horsie stumbled out of a corn field, hooves still tender, started bouncing higher or higher, found a pumpkin and a patch of shade and a first meal came out of it. Observing a coil collection skyline in the thick and hazy distance made it's way while a technicolor confetti of leaves showered horsie learning about chroma value hue temperature. Warmth was the the falling color and bright was the path ahead. Springtown got closer and closer, horsie's shape-shifting took to momentum kept it up. A licorice limp castle became its home and the swaying cradle became its mother. The castle has started melting now, and it must be on its way. Keep an eye out.
