Darkness in the Garden

by TS Paul

Unicorns.

It was all I could do not to hunt the little bugger down and give him a good thrashing! My prized petunias were devastated. He ate every single one of the flower heads! I got down on my knees and started cropping the foliage back. Without the flower heads, I didn’t even have seeds to use for next year.

“What’cha doing?” A voice spoke.

Here is a lesson for you. Never sneak up on a Witch. Especially a Witch with garden tools in her hands. I muttered a spell and turned to see the little terrorist stuck to the ground. The very grass was entwined around him, holding him fast.

“Why hello, Fergus. Nice to see you. Did you enjoy your snack?” I motioned with my spade toward the destroyed flower bed.

“Can you let me go? What did I do to you?” The small unicorn bit at the grass, but didn’t make any progress since it continued to cover him faster than he could bite it back.

“You ate my prized petunias yet again! That’s what you did.” I made a hand motion and stopped the growth of grass. Fergus looked a bit like a green mushroom with a unicorn head. I scooped him up.

“Petunias? What are petunias? All I ate was some flowers, a bushy plant over near the fence that smelled like feet, some weeds, and something that tasted like peanut butter. That peanut thing was delicious. Got any more of those?”

I looked past my small flower garden towards the entrance to the primary garden and grimaced. “Did the bushy thing have purple stems and white flowers on it?”

“It did. Hey, why is it getting so dark out here? Whoa? Where did the pretty colors come from?” The unicorn struggled out of the grass that held him tightly and lay down on his back.

Looking down at my hand all I could do was shake my head. How stupid could he be?

“Ugh. What did I eat? Why are you staring at me like that?” Fergus rolled over, shook himself and sniffed the grass that once held him. “Got anything to eat?”

“Is that all you really think about? Food?” As I held him, I considered tossing him into the field. Whatever Agatha did, made him indestructible. He bounces like a ball when tossed. Zeus, my Savannah cat, does it all the time.

“Pretty much. Where I grew up on the farm, grass and unicorn chow was all I had to eat every day. This place has so many new things I can try. Not like that other weird place at all.” Fergus moved up my arm carefully balancing at my elbow.

Frowning I looked at him. “What ‘other’ place?”

“The place they took me to after I left the farm. Humans grabbed me, threw me into a stinky metal box, and took me to a place.” Fergus mumbled. He managed to work his way up my shirt using his teeth to pull himself up.

“Fergus, do you know where you came from? What
