Unicorn

Do you think I am trying to weave a spell? Perhaps I am; but remember your fairy tales. Spells are used for breaking enchantments as well as for inducing them. And you and I have need of the strongest spell that can be found to wake us from the evil enchantment of worldliness which has been laid upon us for nearly a hundred years. Almost our whole education has been directed to silencing this shy, persistent, inner voice; almost all our modern philosophies have been devised to convince us that…

In 1983 Hasbro introduced a toy line by Bonnie Zacherle called My Pretty Pony. The initial designs of the equines featured “realistic” colors and proportions of typical pony breeds, but were later changed to pastel colored bodies complete with a “cutie mark” applied to the pony’s flank for identification purposes. The ponies would continue on as a popular series of dolls with brushable manes and tails throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s. In recent years, the ponies are seeing a resurgence of…

take hard work and dedication (but mostly just patience and luck). I guess it all starts with one’s own defining of rich. One way could literally mean rich. Like wiping your tushy with Benjamin Franklin’s face rich. Another could be the sentimental ‘unicorn and rainbows’ rich, where everyone is on cloud nine 24/7. My definition of rich is having EVERYTHING I have ever wanted in life and live without having to leave my room to pay bills. Will America give you all the money in the world without a…

The early light fill my entire room from my left side as I open the curtain, it a beautiful morning and I probably need to hurry, Lina is probably waiting for me at her house, I get out from my bed quickly and head to…

White Tail Deer Wildlife plays a very important role in the history of our country, dating back hundreds of centuries to the first civilizations of Native Americans. White-Tail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) played a significant part in how the Indians survived; deer supplied the Native Americans with meat (venison), clothing, tools, a source of trade between Europeans, and ceremonial items (Howe, 2011). This being said, if anything were to happen to the population of deer to decline the Indians…

Almost everyone knows what Greek mythology is. If a stranger approached someone on the street and asked if Greek mythology are fantasy stories, almost every single person would say that they are. Greek mythology was one of the first fantasy stories in the world. Fantasy has been around forever, there is no specific place it has started. Even though they have been around forever, most people cannot tell what the definition of fantasy is. From Greek mythology to modern fantasy, they all have…

stereotype of how people view zombies and claims that death is not a superpower for zombies because when someone dies does not suddenly becomes stronger and faster since they are dead. However, the story “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” in Zombies Vs. Unicorn breaks all these protocols except the eating of people by viewing the zombies as…
