was beyond caring. I kicked my horse faster and faster until
the cat darted left and I didn’t have time correct. We flew forward over the
crest of a hill and it wasn’t until we’d cleared it that I saw what had forced
the cat to turn.
    The bears.
    There were two of them, dead ahead of me, and when
they turned back to see what was coming toward them, they both rose on their
back feet and my eyes went wide. They were big, impossibly big and my horse
suddenly realized what lay ahead of us.
    She was normally docile and good with other animals,
but bears weren’t just some other animal. Rushing to a stop, she reared up and
sent me flying before she took off for home, leaving me on the ground with two
huge bears approaching.
    “Shit,” I mumbled, panic rising up within me. “Oh
shit.”
    The gun , I realized as I struggled to move, but
the fall had knocked the wind out of me. Pain shot through my back as I tried
to move and I prayed I wasn’t paralyzed, but right then that was the least of
my worries.
    The bears were getting closer. I was an easy meal and
they were so close I could smell them.
    Play dead , was my next instinct, and it was a
lot easier than the first. Maybe if I stayed still, they wouldn’t want me and I
would be safe. With no other options, I closed my eyes and prayed that they
would leave me alone.
    I waited for them to sniff me. I waited for them to
bite me. I tried to make peace with death, but moments passed and then more.
There were no bites, no sniffs, no pain, and suddenly I heard, “Amy, are you
okay?”
    I recognized that voice. Deep and silky smooth, it was
Hudson who was speaking to me and I let my eyes flutter open.
    “Look...” I stuttered. “Look out!”
    Behind Hudson one of the bears remained and I was near
tears with fright. I was so scared that I hadn’t noticed that Hudson was
completely, utterly nude.
    “What... what is going on?” I asked as I tried to get
up, but my back ached from the fall. My toes wiggled okay and I studied the
bear who approached Hudson’s side.
    “We should probably talk,” Hudson said. “But let’s
head back to the barn.”
    “Give me a minute,” I said. Between trying to get my
breath back and seeing what looked like a tame bear, I was sure I had suffered
a psychotic break or something.
    “Come on,” Hudson said as he picked me up. “Flynn won’t
bite.”
    “Flynn?” I muttered, but Hudson set me down on the
bears back and I went to scream, but the bear didn’t attack. He only started to
roam back to the stables and I got even more confused.
    The walk back was long, and I tried to figure out just
what the hell was going on, but the more I thought about it, the less it made
sense. There had been two bears, and then suddenly there was Hudson and one
bear and Hudson had been nude.
    I must have lost my mind in the fall. That, or I was
in a coma and this was some weird coma dream.
    But it felt so real. The bear’s fur under my hands,
the smell of its musky body as we walked. It was like a fluffy horse and it
felt so real.
    And Hudson had called the bear Flynn.
    No , I thought to myself when we neared the
tables. That can’t be possible. That kind of thing doesn’t exist.
    And yet, there was no other explanation. None that
made sense. Or at least, none that made less sense somehow.
    “Do you think you broke anything?” Hudson asked once
we got inside the stable.
    “No,” I mumbled as he helped me off the back of the
bear. Even the horses didn’t seemed spooked and I really worried I’d lost it.
    “I’m glad to hear it,” Flynn said and everything
changed all over again. The bear was gone, but in his place stood Flynn. Very
human and very naked.
    “This isn’t real.” I muttered as I collapsed into a hay
stack. “This can’t be real. I’m in a coma.”
    “It’s very real,” Hudson tried to assure me, but I couldn’t
believe it. “We were hoping you wouldn’t find out, at least not yet.”
    “But... it’s impossible,” I
