Unicorns Come At Night

by Pauline T Gallagher

Overview

Unicorns Come at Night is a story about the loss of a beloved horse, named Chestnut. Jill, a teenager, has rode Chestnut in many competitions and her bedroom is filled with medals and memories. The passing of Chestnut is indeed a sad event, but the idea of the “Happy Hunting Grounds” is included in the story. The Native American Indians believed in an afterlife for themselves where hunting was plentiful.
In this story, the afterlife is simply named “The Place”. There is no hunting. Animals and humans live in peace. Jill goes to bed with a heavy heart. She hears Chestnut calling to her.
Outside the barn, Jill witnesses an incredible event. Before her eyes, a beautiful white unicorn descends from the starlit sky and walks gracefully into the barn. Jill follows. The reader has to ask if Jill is dreaming this event or is she fully awake. Even if it is a dream, what could be the purpose of a unicorn visiting a dying horse? This is a story with a wonderful twist before it ends. It is guaranteed to bring joy and hope to the reader.

About the Author

I was born in Ireland, lived in England and Australia and finally settled down in Canada. I retired as an elementary and high school teacher and now I house and pet sit. This is our fourth year of pet sitting and the assignments have taken us to Britain, Europe, Tahiti, Australia and New Zealand. I always travel with my laptop. I blog children’s stories daily on http://childrenandteensstoriestomotivateandinspire.com

-Some years ago I wrote several children’s stories without an artist.
They were taken by Annex Press, Toronto to two publishing conferences in New York. They lost the contract, but stated my books were very publishable and not to ‘give up.’ One of my stories, “Mrs. Claus and the November Visit,” won in the Canadian Library Competition. It chooses short stories across Canada and publishes them in a yearly anthology called “Winners Circle.” Mine was the only children’s story selected.

-Fast forward to 2016 and the opportunity to use images from the copyright free Public Domain site. Now, I have four stories ready to become ebooks by end of October, 2016.
They are:
--Mrs. Claus and the November Visit
--Belinda’s Dandelion (about bullying)
--Unicorns Come at Night (about the death of a pet)
-- The Bouncing Blue Ball ( a fun story).

The following stories are almost ready....
--The Incredible Show and Tell Story
---Difference Spring Breaks
--Look Who is Helping Bo Beep Find Her Sheep
--Ranger Jabauri and the Serengetti Plain
