Do not be afraid if you pass by a small shell on the beach
That shines and shimmers like with halcyon bliss aura
If you pick up it up you will see it is only the baby unicorns horn
It feels silky to your touch and makes your fingers speak a langauge
You never felt before
It is only the baby unicorns horn washed up from the sea
Baby Unicorns wash themselves clean in the breath of the earth that is the ocean
When their adult horn is ready to grow the baby horn is taken away in immersion
So whenever you go for a walk on the beach and see a unique shell
It is only the baby unicorns horn


THE WITCHBALL
A STORY FOR NIKKI JO
On my Birthday my Mother bought me a ball
It was made of glass which I was unhappy about
I love bouncy balls ones with bright colors, ones which bounce high up to the beating of a birds wing
Rubber ones, marble ones, neon ones, big ones to put in a long sock so I can bash then on our outside wall
This wasn't like any of those but it was a toy my mother said
So I took it I'm not one to refuse any present
For days it's been in my drawer when on a rainy day I was so bored I decided to fiddle with it
I turned it round and round in my small hand and noticed it isn't a particular color it looks boring
It wasn't like my other ball which lights up inside when it bounces, no, no light coming from this
If this is a toy well mother can't know anything about toys then
I am really angry with mother I ALWAYS get what I want but this I hate that ball and I hate my mother for giving it me
If only I could make her pay for her unkindness for giving me this stupid rock of rubbish
I put the stupid ball back in my drawer, and I kick the drawer shut
Then I hear a chiming, not like bells or tinkling but a chiming just inside the ears like it was in my head but it came from
outside
It was coming from my drawer, I opened the drawer and there was my ball but it looked different, it had a funny color, it was
purple.red and blue and it glowed from inside, not light exactly but like the glow of winter breath in the light of a lamp.
I picked it up and said to it 'I HATE YOU!'
Then................it laughed, I was so shocked I dropped it but it didn't break. then it spoke to me, it said
I AM YOURS AND NO OTHERS
WHENEVER YOU NEED ME TAKE ME UNDER YOUR COVERS
I AM THE WITCHBALL I BREATH IN ALL YOUR HATE
USE ME BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
I AM ONLY FOR A SPECIAL CHILD
ONE WHOSE HATE NEEDS TO RUN WILD
USE ME ON ANYWAY YOU WANT
USE ME TO HURT THOSE YOU DON'T LIKE
PRICK THEM LIKE A SPIKE
I SERVE YOU ONLY
All at once I knew I smiled to myself and said thank you Mother
This is the best present I have ever had
