The exercise:

Write four lines of prose about: the unicorn's vacation.

Just popped into my head. May or may not have something to do with end of work week tired brain.

When prompts like that pop into your head I think the least you can do is write to them yourself as well :)

The unicorn's vacation
Beelzebubble, the Valley-girl demon with blonde curly hair, twinkling eyes, an infectious smile (literally: one kiss could give you Yersina Pestis) and cloven hooves that looked like carmine high heels giggled at Mo'oroje.
"Why is there a unicorn wandering through the Nine Circles?" she asked, and though she sounded empty-headed and vivacious there were distant harmonics like a far-off thunderstorm gathering speed as it headed inwards.
"It says it's on vacation," said Mo'oroje miserably, who'd spent an hour trying to talk to it and getting gored by its horn three times in the process.
"Well, we're not, so get a posse together and bring me its horn and hooves!" snapped Beelzebubble.

Greg - that's a fair point. I'll try to get to this one.

Hah, that's a hell of an opening line. Why do I get the feeling that this won't be the last we've heard from Beelzebubble?
