Today's OneWord: Horses

Mick Jagger's "Wild Horses" was playing in a small diner where Roger sat, drinking a coffee. The autumn leaves were damp and clogged with rain and dirt, and a tinny jukebox was already playing Christmas songs in the corner. As he stirred sugar into his mug, he watched as the young Irish waiter, Ferris, set down a plate of sliced turkey in front of him.

"On the house," he said. "Happy Thanksgiving."

Roger smiled. At least he had something to be thankful for now.
