    Horses will bite down on a fence or a car and just stay there sucking air into their stomachs in order to stress themselves out so hard they trip balls until they die. But then they'll also do things like this where they'll do a Soderbergh style heist in order to find something to self-harm with.

    Hey, wait, do all domesticated horses just have depression?

      No. It goes beyond depression. It somehow combines a complete and utter knowledge of the absurd meaninglessness of existence with a form of unhinged terror that transcends fear in to something like ecstasy. Horses are fucking weird. I don't really like being around htem much. Like not in an "I don't like horses" way but more in the way your cousin's unhinged friend tells funny stories but there's an edge of chaotic violence that hints at deeper truths for which you are not prepared way.
