St. Valentine



Elegant, graceful creature



Skimming over the ground



Barely touching the earth



Stopping in a clearing



Raising her silky head,



She sniffs at the air



And suddenly sets off



Cautiously approaching



Into a veiled area



Enclosed by vines



Inside sits St. Valentine



Glancing up,



He freezes



Slowly smiling



She beckons love



Approaching



The unicorn nuzzles her



And suddenly a slash through the heart



Valentine falls



Bending,



The unicorn licks up the blood



Savoring the sweet, brackish taste



Then straightening



She goes to find



A new victim.

Interview with Hannah

Question: So, Hannah, what's your opinion on Valentine's Day?

Hannah: It's okay, I guess. I used to not like it, though, because guys made fun of me.

Q: Do you get Valentines?

H: Uh, sometimes.

Q: Well, that would explain something. Do you have a boyfriend?

H: Yeah... But I'm not telling you who he is.

Q: Darn. Oh well. Do you think that St. Valentine should have been kicked in the stomach, punched in the nose, thrown in a particularly disgusting Port-a-Potty, and rolled down a steep hill?

H: Uh, I dunno. Don't you think that's a bit harsh? I mean, you never met the guy.

Q: No. He's put me through too much misery. Any closing words?

H: Not really. Bye.

What would I like for V-day? I'd like a dozen roses and a box of chocolates from a hot guy. Actually, I'd like them from any boy. In fact, I just want a box of chocolates.
