The Unicorn Challenge

The first time she saw him on the screen her heart melted, and it never occurred he was not what he seemed. She needed a job, that was clear, and this office was conveniently near. She filled out the forms and applied on the spot and heard right away, but was excited and thought, maybe this is the one time I will have a good outcome. He looks very nice, and it would provide a good income. That afternoon, she dressed in a hurry, looked in the mirror didn’t see anything to cause worry. Her suit was pressed, she looked efficient, was on her way, to finally be proficient. Her appointment was close, right down the street and he seemed anxious to meet. She walked in the door of the coffee shop, spotted him immediately and practically hopped over to the booth where he was sitting, carefully slipping into it, nicely fitting. She noticed he had a weird smile on his face, an odd one considering this was a public place. Suddenly she felt a hand on her knee. Recoiling, sat up straight and thought she should flee. The hand traveled further than it should, and she knew he was up to no good. Suddenly was out of the booth, deciding she wanted nothing to do with a man so uncouth. Getting out to the sidewalk she bumped into a lady, promptly fell into the street and lost her shoe in the grating.
