As I ran past the crossing I noticed a flash of movement and noise to my left. I stopped dead in my tracks as I looked towards the movements. In an instant I absorbed the panorama before me and the thought of what was about to happen broke my heart. A gargantuan tree limb precariously dangled in the open space above the source of the hoof beats that I had heard earlier, a Unicorn. Never mind that the true existence of a Unicorn was improbable even impossible to believe. At that moment, anything and everything seemed possible and very, very real. The unicorn appeared to trapped by a very thick vine that held her hind leg fast. She tugged and pulled. She kicked and lunged as she attempted to escape. Even as I was absorbing what was happening, the tree limb shifted as if to fall.
