WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING ?

Have you ever seen a unicorn? Everyone knows unicorns can’t feel human emotions and that’s what makes them so fascinating. Some call a lack of emotion sociopathic or even narcissistic, but when framed through the eyes of fantasy the ability to not feel human emotions becomes almost…magical. 

 

People in life can present themselves as these “things” these “unicorns” and its our job to be able to identify them. A unicorn should ALWAYS be viewed but never captured as it is as painful for the capture as the captive.

 

Why should we view them if they’re not good for us? For the same reason we should watch disturbing films, to study them and gain perspective. Sometimes we need to understand the stove to see we are the proverbial frog being boiled. It's better to be a fish that knows the hook than a hook that knows the fish. Relating these disturbing elements back to our real lives can sometimes uncover things we were thought previously were incidental or even positive may indeed be more terrifying than we could ever imagine and take on a whole different meaning. 

 

Ignorance is not bliss.  If we completely stay away from the unicorns in our lives a number of things can end up happening. See when we don’t really know someone, you can end up creating a fake version of them in your head to cope. 

 

Going through life that way, you don’t really ever get to know anyone at all.

When you’re too trepidatious and afraid to jump in the metaphorical pool of life and be truly vulnerable with people without letting let the snake come out of them, you may be lying with a serpent for years or even decades before you realize you’re in its vice grip. 

 

Going through life that way, you don’t really ever get to know anyone until it’s too late.

 

People can SEEM perfect but whether or not you truly ARE perfect for EACH OTHER is what’s beyond illusion. 

 

Often times the answer is no and that’s okay.

 

How uncomforting life would be if you tried to KEEP a unicorn forever. Eventually human emotion takes over. The facade will decay. 

 

Unicorns are shapeshifters, they carry the ability to be anything and everything. They are formless, shapeless, like liquid they fill the mold of whatever they need be. Thunderous booms can be heard as rainbow colored fluorescent blood that glitters and lights up its path rages through this place littered with scattered screams in the night. The animals here do not sleep. Caught in between a war raging on for centuries between the only magical creatures with this power.

 

A pity this is how they choose to use it.

 

Two beings known respectively as the goat and the unicorn.  These names strike fear into everyone around them and are hardly ever spoken out loud. The victims of this war torn of place only able to make horn gestures on their head and point their claws in the air mimicking the silhouette of the ones who have destroyed this once great land. 

 

Each individually strikes fear in the heart of every being but when talked about in conjunction could certainly cause catastrophe on the the mere possibility of another major collision. 

 

The creatures of this world have been trapped in between this battle (mostly about who’s the victim in their complex situation) for as long as they can remember. 

 

A unicorn that learns to feel human emotion is a unicorn no more just as a human who unlearns emotions is a human no more .

 

Once upon a time the goat and the unicorn used to like each other, a lot in fact. Ironically what made the unicorn so magical in the first place to the goat is what caused him to eventually resent her. the unicorns fundamental lack of emotion that makes it so magical eventually wore on the goat. 

 

A battle ensued and the goat turned her into a human for the rest of eternity believing it was the just, moral and right thing to do. Oh how very wrong he was, the unicorn shrieked in horror as she looked down at what was now hands and feet where hooves once were. Overtime unicorn grew to know many human emotions, but important she learned fear, anger and most importantly revenge. One day she decided to make the goat know these things as she had known grown to know them. 

 

The goat feels everything 

 

The unicorn feels nothing

 

They made each other experience each others view

 

Through the goats perspective, the unicorn is the villain of this story

 

Through the unicorns perspective, the goat is the villain of this story

 

Both are correct and neither is correct

 

How wonderful it would be to truly be numb to worldly emotion

 

Simultaneously how wonderful it would be to feel it all

 

How horrible it would be for each to be ripped out of their individual elements into a world of uncomfort and learning 

 

How horrible it would be for them to try and meet in the middle

 

or so they think

 

The battle was long and fierce, lasting days. Both exhausted the Unicorn finally came upon an idea. her eyes widened and she threw down her hands. Slowly she walked toward the goat in her human form. They looked at each other deeply for a moment, reminiscing on days past. She wrapped her arms around him as the creatures of the night looked in amazement. For a moment everything stopped, there was peace. The goat looked into the unicorns eyes for the first time in a long time and instead of unicorn eyes, he saw his own reflection. 

 

At that moment he knew his fate. With one giant motion those same arms that held the goat in embrace turned to claws and ripped inward and then outward. The unicorn shredded the goat to pieces in front of the crowd of animals gathered in suspense. Victorious and satisfied the Unicorn set off into the forest relishing in her newfound victory. 

 

It was finally over, or so she thought. There was a catch. When the Unicorn looked went to drink from the lake, she saw her reflection for the first time since her victory. Still in her human form, no different than how the goat left her and now she too is left searching for that same unicorn they both loved in the first place.

 

 

The end...Or is it?
