Dad's letter

A letter Scootaloo's father wrote to her mother years ago when he left for the army.

Dear sweetheart,
I’m sorry I had to leave, but this changeling problem in Saddle Arabia isn't going to solve itself, and I trust you and Scootaloo will be fine without me. You knew when I joined the army I wouldn't be polishing chariots forever and I would eventually go to war. Maybe they'll just post me at a base and I'll polish chariots there... but it doesn't matter. I didn't want to go, but I’m doing this to protect you both and to serve our Princess. I hope you know do I love you no matter what. I will come back; I’ll come back for you and our beautiful daughter and we can be a family. We can go to that duck pond you love so much, and that fancy restaurant you've always wanted to go to, we can go on long walks and spend time with our little baby girl. Both of my special mares will be in my heart always. I'll be back soon, and that's a promise.
I love you...
-A proud husband and father.

Hm... hate to say it, but the pacing here is abysmal.

You expand for a while on something, we don't know what, feeling amiss for Scoots.

Then suddenly her dad is there! No buildup, no nothing!

And then he had to leave again. The end.

This really doesn't make for a compelling read.

2090181 You're absolutely right man, It was just an idea I was throwing around and I just needed to write it down. I wanted to release it so I could get feedback on how I could improve it. Thanks, and I'll make sure to add a bit more to this!
