the power to render poisoned water potable

hey mel, wanna see something that will make you puke rainbows?

why yes.  yes i do want to see something that will make me puke rainbows.  double rainbows!  but whatever it is can't be as awesome as what she just said, as that crooked grin or her perfectly timed introduction and delayed explanation.  a brilliant build-up.

she dutifully displays the purple and pink fuzzy unicorn with the golden belt and big blue eyes.  then tromps away to the next target.


i think maybe she is the unicorn.


i think that pink suits her (as much as black suits her) as much as all the people surrounding her, right now in this room, suit her.  and how many years did it take to find them?  how many days does she have to hold her breath as she walks out into the binary world where the masses don't see her. don't believe she exists.

ogres at every turn, waiting, to silence her magic and erase all her colors.   she is brighter than the shadows they cast.  she is older than their hate.


she will make the water potable
