unicorn

The extravagant wings of the unicorn spread as its powerful legs pushed off the ground and took flight.  I wrapped my arms tight around its muscular neck as I held on for dear life.  Our altitude increased quickly, and everything below started to shrink.  The society of the world seemed to be transforming into an ant colony, as all the people looked like little specs scurrying around.  With no parachute, the thought of falling off and splatting on the ground below scared me to death.  My first experience was as frightening as I imagined.

Unicorn riding has become a popular activity and sport in the last decade.  Now an Olympic sport, it has also become very competitive. Unicorn riding is a cross between horse and bull riding, and is a thrill for anyone, but I don't think I'll be trying it again any time soon.
