Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 08, 2016

At least she was lucky enough for the target to be something in the school.

Draw back of a spell. Rather mechanical.

I would’ve liked to see the spell being casted.

Oh, so those are the risks. Better to stick to distractions then. It gives variety.

So now we know autistic people have a unicorn.

I knew something bad would happen.

I was SO right.

So, Adderall, basically.

No one knows obsession better than Marigold.

Agreed Phoebe.

I’d said this wasn’t going to end well.

Some Siamese cats must have that spell, as one whom I knew (a friend’s cat) would sit or lie down while staring fixedly and without blinking at one spot on a wall or a blanket, for hours at a time. Also:

It could have been worse—the spell could have contained a “sub-routine” that would cause Phoebe to summon her inner unicorn, in which case Phoebe might have been obsessed with her reflection, whether in a shiny floor tile or in the girls’ bathroom mirror.

at least she’s just stuck and not “turnt and burnt”^
