“Get up Randolf. Time for school.” Phaedra watched her son stir before going downstairs.
“Remind me why we sent Randolf to this school?” Her husband frowned as he looked over their son’s report card.
“We wanted to give him a good start in life. We thought…… Unicorn school would teach him how to properly channel his special powers. We wanted him to be an angel.”
“Instead we’ve paid a fortune for the privilege of seeing him as an angel only if he gets chosen for the part in the Christmas play. They’ve created a unicorn with attitude and gun.

About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

The spirit of the unicorn is alive and well, I see! What a fun, quirky flash, Irene. Your unicorn upstaged the angel idea! 🙂

The unicorn was the second prompt (for me at any rate) that you gave. It seemed a good time to revisit. The parents will certainly be pleased if he is up staged especially if made an angel.

I had so many (too many) ideas for this one but, I will say, not one of them included a unicorn school and a bad report card! 😀 That first picture freaked me out!
