A colorful and sparkling fantasy scenario unfolds in New York. Thousands of confused and astonished residents report sighting unicorns galloping in the bustling streets of Manhattan.
The calm and daily routine of New Yorkers were disrupted yesterday morning by an impressive and unexpected spectacle. Hordes of vibrant, multicolored unicorns crisscrossed the city’s avenues, leaving behind them ephemeral rainbows and sparkling glitter. A scene as absurd as it is enchanted.
“I was having my coffee at Starbucks when I saw a neon pink unicorn pass by the window,” recalls Sarah Thompson, a resident of the SoHo district. “And believe it or not, it was wearing a tutu and ballet shoes! I had to pinch myself several times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming!”
Astonishment and hilarity were the first reactions of passers-by. But soon enough, confusion began to spread. The authorities, equally perplexed, tried to maintain some semblance of order in the colorful and enchanted chaos caused by the unicorns.
“We have set up emergency pastures in Central Park to accommodate our new fantastical friends,” declared Police Commissioner John McAllister, not without a smirk. “We are also expecting a large delivery of confetti and cotton candy. It seems that’s their preferred diet.”
Faced with this flamboyant invasion, New Yorkers are oscillating between amusement and disbelief. But one thing is certain, yesterday will be remembered as the sudden and spectacular incursion of unicorns into the grey daily life of the Big Apple.
The only real question that remains is whether these enchanted creatures will take the ferry to explore the Statue of Liberty or will they continue to roam the sparkling streets of Manhattan?
“Today, Manhattan. Tomorrow, the world,” quips local writer Lucy Kellerman, who has always asserted that the imagination is the only limit to reality. “And who knows, maybe tomorrow we’ll see mermaids in the Hudson River or dragons in the skies of Brooklyn.”
