Heralding Horned Horses

When it comes to unicorns, what do You have in mind?

Do You think about how difficult they are to find?

When it comes to unicorns, what tales have been told?

Traditional, revised, kind, horror, and other legends of old?

I've written several plots, all containing unicorns.

Feel free to have Your pick, move from one to the next if You get bored.

Sometimes their characters, other times plot devices.

All have free will (to an extent), some are controlled by other's vices.

I read several stories. All of them made me think.

So, I wrote my own unicorn stories, putting pen to paper, writing ink.

Here's a summary if You would like it, to ease Your own selection.

Each story is unique in its own, please read at Your own discretion.

The first starts out as a bit of fanfiction.

The second's an origin story, where a creator works with established conviction.

The third's a bit of fantasy, with a little bit of science.

The fourth has a unicorn fight back, with the most unorthodoxed form of violence.

The fifth is fantastical sci-fi, reminding one of the constant named after Planck.

The sixth is more traditional, and let's the truth speak for itself, to be rather frank.

The seventh is most brutal, and probably needs a content warning.

Purity isn't always innocent, characters for each other were mourning.

The eighth is the most modern-age realistic.

As when people lie or hide the truth, nothing is ever truly simplistic.

The ninth is first story, but it's an author's cut.

I tried to make it smaller, but my eyes were bigger than my gut.

So, out of all the unicorns, peruse around before You pick Your ride.

You don't have to mount them all, but tell me which one(s) that You've eyed.

From fantasy to sci-fi to traditional to gorey
