The fantastical world is in turmoil: a unicorn escape has reportedly taken place at the Void Zoo. Let’s look back at a phenomenon as inexplicable as it is hilarious.
The Void Zoo was reputed to be impenetrable. Located on a plane of existence somewhere between your imagination and the reflection in your mirror after three mojitos, this zoo hosts the most improbable creatures of our collective unconscious. The only mermaid pool in the world, for example, is there. An enclosure for yetis, too. And then there’s the showstopper: the unicorns.
Yesterday, however, it would seem that the unicorns took off as the trail taken by these creatures leads only to a crossed barrier. “It’s absolutely incomprehensible,” declared Blossom McFluffy, the zoo’s pink-haired keeper. “Unicorns are the most peaceful and loving creatures in the zoo. And we give them all the fizzy sugar they want. Why would they want to leave?”.
The incident triggered a wave of panic in the fantastical world. The local residents, already accustomed to the inherent strangeness of their existence, were nonetheless shocked by this news. “You think you’ve seen enough, then one day, you find out unicorns can saw a tree trunk with their horn. There’s no certainty in this world anymore,” remarks a giant rabbit while sipping his tea from a cup.
“The next step is obviously to find the unicorns and bring them home,” declares McFluffy. “We have already started setting up traps of fizzy sugar and rainbow mud bowls in the forest. We hope they will take the bait.”
“Not a word for the dodo who shared their enclosure, though,” sighs the giant rabbit, “It’s always the unicorns who get all the attention.” He then leaves, tripping over his large ears, a clear indication that it’s time for his nap.
In the wake of this escape, a question persists: do unicorns really exist or is all of this simply a figment of our imagination? It’s for you to decide.
