This story was written in order to illustrate to those who use religion to denounce others of the damage they can do with their religious declarations. Thus I set it in a sci-fi setting where the dominant species has evolved from horses instead of primates. Instead of facial hair that male humans begin growing at the onset of puberty, the males of this world begin to grow a tail. This world is governed by a one-world theocratic government, and the people, being of several breeds of horses, accept one another with no prejudices, except for one that has come from misguided religious interpretations. And our main character is about to find out what happens to him.
In this world, our tail begins.
