February 22, 2018, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about a unicorn. It can be realistic or fantastical. Go where the prompt leads.
The day the white unicorn appeared in my back paddock I thought I was seeing things.
It paused at the back fence and I took in its majesty.
Venturing to the fence we eyed each other off.
It dipped its head, his impressive horn pointing at me, and I reached out and touched it. It felt softer than I imagined, the spirals silky soft but there was a hidden strength within it.
It pawed the ground and moved closer and I felt the aura of its magic wash over me. Infused by this I had never felt so exhilarated.
Gotta love unicorns.
True magic of majestic creature. Michael.
Yes and sometimes you meet people who can do the same to you.
We are truly blessed when we find someone like that.
They’re like hens teeth though aren’t they.
Yes Michael, they are, which is what makes them so precious and special.
Lovely little piece.
Michael, I like that you included the touch of a unicorn’s horn both tactilely and magically. Concrete details like that make your story feel real.
Thanks so much Charli I appreciate your comment
