Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum has an impressive site. Instead of a typical orientation film, you will be inpressed by the museum’s Reagan #hologram. We viewed the ranch narrative. “The Tack Room at Rancho del Cielo – President #Reagan has just returned from a #horseback ride and he talks to us about the Ranch and how it helps him to balance the pressures of the Oval Office, and then tells us a little about his ideas on #freedom.”

ding dong hello just popped in to say:
that moment when character has been traveling by horseback for days while severely injured/seriously ill/utterly exhausted and they can hardly keep themself upright in the saddle, their skin ashen and dull, their eyes unfocused. a layer of sweat coats their skin and their hair hangs in damp strands about their face. they force their burning eyes up and the last thing they see is the watery shape of a town or outpost up ahead before their body finally gives out and they’re helpless to stop themself as they tip sideways from the saddle, landing heavily—painfully—on the ground.
*bites knuckles* I mean, am I right or wrong? (i’m right)
to add:
what if their visions wavers and blurs and they see horses approaching and every time they blink the horses are way closer, and when they drag their head up, they realize they’re surrounded and they recognize the emblem and it’s not friendly. the half-stutter of their heartbeat and the ringing in their ears and the way everything slowly grays out.
they don’t remember hitting the ground.
