The Diary of a Scientist Part 1

December 25, 2085
Dear Diary, the South Pole is terrible. Some of the team members are starting to regret this Christmas, but I think the discovery of a new animal is as good as a holiday can get. The last time an explorer came down here, he said he had seen a… different kind of animal. It was described to be something like a horned seal, but he didn’t get a very close look at it. Our team, specialized in biology, has been sent here to try to find out what it is.

We’ve been searching by the edge of the ice and the air holes, since judging by what the explorer had to say, the animal was a mutated seal. So far, all we’ve found were some horns. It’s a bit weird, because it doesn’t look like a regular animal horn,but more like a unicorn. We don’t know if that is a good thing or not, but I do think so.

We were walking across the ice that seemed stable enough searching for more air holes in the ice. Then suddenly, the ice started cracking until John fell through. I’m speechless.
