Still alive

[maexle]

Dears,

perhaps you wondered already why you didn't hear neither from apisa_b nor me. The explanation is rather simple: Dear apisa_b and her larva are with me in the moment. They arrived on Tuesday and now they probably have already gotten enough from stables and horses for the next three months.

**slowly and methodically plans Margit's death**

Robin might have died from gorging himself. I know he didn't but he might have. Worse, another horse might be dead now because that idiot woman thinks owning and running a stable is worthwhile because it'll improve her social standing, bugger what happens to the horses.

I'd suggest your "old man" keep his ear to the ground. Had you not been there, had Marissa not been there it could have been very bad. I strongly suspect once the "good" clients (i.e. the ones who'll help Philipp and Margit do their bloody jobs) are gone the stable will be up for sale pretty quick. Then you can hire the real deal back and to hell with Margit.

I don't like her, but I'm very relieved Robin's okay. Bad Robin!! No gorging allowed.

I just feel like killing Margit and her father myself. The longer I think about the entire story, the more furious I become. Robin only survived because he's such a healthy boy, but when I think what could have happened - better not think about.
In every I'm very, very glad that Robin will leave this stable in 10 days.
And besides: I never liked her much and I was sure something would go wrong as soon as she's alone responsible. I only didn't think it would already happen in the first week.
And you know, what's the worst thing about it is: Today I saw her - and she wasn't very bothered about the entire thing. She said she's sorry she didn't notice yesterday in the morning, but she was "a bit late" and first going to the baker for getting fresh breed. And she doesn't know why her father didn't mention Robin running around. Considered that we have a very busy street only 200 m from the yard ...
No, I really don't want to think what could have happened. I only know that I want Robin away from there!"

Come to think of it, we may not have to do murder ourselves: if you told anyone at the Tallhof what happened they might do it for us.

I really think she'll wind up selling the place when it becomes a bother. With you, Renate and most of the good owners leaving, it'll become a bother right quick.

I meant to write "If you tell anyone at the BIRKHOF about this they might kill her for us."

Not being able to fix replies is a bother, sorry.

Professional and caring stable owners read stories like these and make nasty growling sounds. ;)

The Birkhof people were already growling, but I don't think they'll kill Margit for me. They're unfortunately already very much in use with hearing horror stories from other stables.
But perhaps you'll come and keep my cloak while I struggle her? The longer I think about, the more angry I become.
