A Unicorn Sighting

The first Journal entry 🦄

Self-reported sighting

Michael Kontell’s journal: May

Something is off in the forest, bro. Al least that’s how Major Admural would describe it.

A large, thrashing creature was seen decimating the lower trunks and high leaves for a long time now. It wasn’t a horse, nor a giraffe. And we doubt it could be described, given the grainy video we captured.

Our team decided to in investigate — dive to try and fine one of the creatures.

But this is serious, we need to drop anchor on everything we’re doing around the lab and land preserve. Finding and acclimating these equine creatures won’t be easy… but we would change the course of science!

The forest had to be maintained as a perfect environment. If these beasts can into here… many institutions won’t have toughened security to keep them out.

I had to remind the auditors that we need to double up the perimeter. I almost wish the creature could come back, back to be studied…but we couldn’t allow that.
