Which Filly?

We have a different sort of challenge for today's writing:
Jenny posted, "Your writing challenge is to write a story in fives. 
Five sentences consisted of five words EACH.
25 words."

Five sentences. 
Five words in each sentence. 
5 x 5 = 25


So,  I poured my coffee.  
I typed my first line.  
It took off from there. 
I will probably speak in 5-word sentences all day!


She sprinted to the barrel.
Her loose hair swept back.
The wind scrubbed her face.
She moved swift as lightning.
No filly could race faster!

What thoughts do you have?

What is Four?

Have you ever thought of the meaning of "four"?  Four is the number of: seasons in a year. corners and sides to a square. virtues....
