Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 10, 2019

What was that? I was watching Phoebe’s tail change color. It might be starting to flicker out.

Hopefully the SCWAFFINS won’t start electrocuting you if you don’t do the exercise it wants you to do.

(Anyone who’s read that “DreamBody” story on r/nosleep will get my reference.)

Before I was hired on at a grocery store, I rarely had my daily ten thousand. Now that I was hired on and walking all over the place gathering carts, gathering trash, putting back “go-backs”, I get my daily ten thousand plus some extra steps.

Sorry if Phoebe is not a robot, Marigold.

SCWAFFINS: You.. Will.. Be.. Assimilated…

“When the meter says 10,000, I’ll pat you on the head and say ‘Good job’.”

Work in a warehouse Marigold. If large enough 10,000 steps isn’t anything.

250 steps isn’t divisible by 4 (4 hooves), so it’s a theoretical goal; otherwise, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils would be stymied after the 248th step. We’re approaching a dramatic moment. Perhaps Marigold will just forge ahead past the 252nd step and then on to the 10,000th step.

Twinkle, twinkle, little tail; if you were wider you’d be a sail…

Phoebe’s tail seems to have been recharged.
