Faster
A micro fiction about the lives of fantastical creatures
Lily focused intently on something out the window. “What are you looking at?” asked her mother, who was driving.
“A unicorn running next to the car.”
“You!” Her mother laughed. “What a great imagination.”
After dinner at grandma’s house, they piled back in their car to go home. Lily stared out the window once more.
“Another unicorn, sweetheart?”
“No. The unicorn didn’t reach grandma’s. It got tired and slowed down.”
Her mother smiled. “What’s out there now?”
“A dragon,” she said. “He’s much faster.”
“How nice, dear.”
The little girl sighed. “No, not really. Not for the unicorn, it wasn’t.”
