A blessing’s curse.

“That’s it! I’m downing tools! It’s the last straw, the straw that broke the camel’s back!” said Silver Flash.

“Yep. These people, so-called human beings, these supposedly bees’ knees of a species on planet earth, have got my goat.” Replied Golden Fleece equally agitated.

Both Unicorns were sitting on the knoll of the hill, under the shade of a stout, but squat English Oak tree, their shining coats glimmered in the sunlight. Silver Flash’s coat of glistening silver and purple, and Golden Flash’s matt black with a golden mane and tail. Unicorns existed on earth from the beginning of imagination, on a parallel plain of mystical consciousness. Let’s delve into the mystical reasoning behind it. Unicorns symbolize innocence, purity, and real magic. Their immaculate multi-colour coats, not just white coats, that is just a myth upon a myth. Their elusive nature makes encountering them a rare and fortunate event. If you happen to witness a group of unicorns frolicking in a sun-kissed meadow or sitting under an old oak tree, consider yourself blessed—not just by chance, but perhaps by divine favour or the touch of otherworldly spirits.

If you are fortunate to see a group of unicorns, it is a blessing, a collective of unicorns can also be called a “Glory” or a “Marvel”, not the comic version. These terms resonate with the enchantment and wonder that unicorns bring. After all, when you’re in the presence of these magical beings, negative thoughts vanish, and the world becomes a canvas of awe and delight. If you spot a group of unicorns, remember you’re witnessing a blessing, a glory, and a marvel all rolled into one. You are blessed, by the blessing.

Both Silver Flash and Golden Fleece were angry. It was worse than anger, they were enraged, after reading in the Wizard Weekly, a headline article stated that in the people's world, their namesake was being used in a term - “Unicorn Start-Up” – in reference to making money. It was sullying the word and meaning of “Unicorn”. This was beyond sacrilegious; it was blasphemy in the unicorn world.

“It makes me hot under the collar.” Golden Fleece spat out.

“Yes, it makes your blood boil, and makes me see red.” Replied Silver Flash.

In the Unicorn world, thoughts and a little sprinkle of pixie dust solve everything. The idiom, actions speak louder than words, would be banned, if it ever existed in Unicorn thoughts, or any form of Unicorn communication. Unicorns cannot comprehend the concept and if you ever tried to explain deeds over words, they would consider you were from another planet. It would cause embarrassment because the blessing of Unicorns would not understand. So, if you were blessed to meet the blessing, you are advised not to discuss meritorious deeds, in fact, deeds of any kind. Plus, they don’t understand wealth in relation to money, it would be advisable not to mention that you were – hard up, or short of a bob or two.

Unicorns are not like Genie’s; they don’t grant wishes.

If you want to taste the wrath of a blessing of Unicorns, just use their name in a greedy, lying, cheating and immoral manner. They say that hell hath no fury as a Unicorn scorned!

“Tit for tat, eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.” An outraged Silver Flash stated, full of vigor and authority.

“Yes, just deserts, Roland for an Oliver, and a taste of their own medicine.” Agreed Golden Fleece.

It takes time for a blessing of Unicorns to first come to a decision but is it a blessing in disguise for everyone when it happens. Everybody should count their blessings when a blessing makes a decision. A blessing’s decision is normally in the form of a curse, and not a blessing.

“A curse. As cold as a witch's tit, me believes. They are the authors of your own misfortune, architects of their downfall, don’t you think?” Mused Golden Fleece.

“It’s their cross to bear, and it most certainly will be a double whammy to their fortunes, or misfortunes – but tough luck!” Agreed Silver Flash.

They both laughed as a vengeful blessing of unicorns do.

************************************************************

It was a beautiful sunny day in Silicon Valley, the New York Stock Exchange index was significantly up since the opening bell rang a few hours ago, to signal the day’s trading. All was well in the world of finance and money. The bulls were snorting and bellowing in the optimistic minds of the traders. The bears had certainly run away and were hiding in the woods.

In the boardroom of Unicorns & Entrepreneurs AI (aka Blessings & Nerds PVT.) that day were all the suited and booted executive team, waiting for the arrival of Rapacity & Pleonexia Partners. In the room that day the two teams would be divided into two groups, and that was certainly not a blessing. One group was eager to get investment for their hair brained ideas, and the other group wanted a huge profit on their investment, another mountain of money on top of their existing mountain of money. Huge rewards, and dreams of mountains of money bigger than the Himalayas, their orgasmic thoughts, and big mouthed words – spelt billions of dollars, trillions of dollars, which created siliva in their souls.

When two tribes go to war in a boardroom, both must feel they have won the war. The leader of Unicorns & Entrepreneurs AI stood up to start the presentation, he was going to battle, instead of armory or weapons, his words were the swords that cut into the air, to descend like barbed harpoons into the ears of the listeners, to make the audience gasp in wonder, to create imaginary, and mesmerize his audience with his oratory. The team of Rapacity & Pleonexia Partners watched and listened, but his own team gazed upon him with fixed smiles of adulation, his words to them seemed like the news of the second coming of the messiah.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, today starts the rest of our lives, and what I will show you today, is going to change the world we know forever, Unicorns & Entrepreneurs AI is going to disrupt this world with our out of this world technology like no other venture has ever done!”

“Disruptive change – that’s what we are all here to discuss today and we are about to give you a peep under the curtain, about the future.”

The speaker, the leader suddenly felt something move in his coccyx, his tailbone. It started to grow. He reached behind his back, and grasped his backside, as the growing tail started to feel strange and uncomfortable.

Evolution is a strange phenomenon. The human backbone, and coccyx is the same as many other species, except other species like reptiles, and other mammals have tails.

Gradually everybody in the meeting room started to feel the same sensation, the seated audience couldn’t sit still, moving uncomfortably on their padded chairs. Then some stood up without explanation, ran to the meeting room door, holding their backsides, fear etched over their faces. On leaving the meeting room without explanation, they fled to the rest rooms, and disappeared into cubicles, slamming the doors shut.

Unbeknown to all the people attending the Unicorn start-up company meeting in the room that day, in a parallel world a blessing of unicorns were lying peacefully on the knoll of the hill under the shade of the sturdy English Oak Tree.

“That will teach them to lead people up the garden path and create a world of smoke and mirrors.” Silver Flash smiled and showed a fine set of gleaming teeth.

“The curse of the Pinocchio tail brings another meaning to bright eyed and bushy tailed.” Laughed Golden Fleece.

“And thereby hangs a tale.” Concluded Silver Flash, as they both fell about laughing.

The moral of the story. Don’t annoy a blessing, otherwise it will become a blessing’s curse.
