The unicorn knew he wouldn't last long without

  • The unicorn knew he wouldn't last long without a heart, but he had given it to the Marshmallow King in the hope that it would save the universe. He could never have predicted that

  • it would in fact cause the universe's ultimate destruction. For when the Marshmallow King ate its heart, he realised this unicorn was no ordinary unicorn. No, this was the magic

  • -marker shitting Robot Unicorn of HomoDomoLand. Its heart was so massive from joy that no despondency could escape its loadstone-esque pull; but when Marshmallow King digested it,

    I think props need to be given to Tristan here for hastily salvaging a perfectly good story from the hands of ninjas. Let's all give him a round of applause. I would give you more likes if I were able, friend. Believe it or not, jetpacked ninjas DON'T belong in EVERY story.
