Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 12, 2022

Ha! There! Marigold just admitted she was immortal!

Does this mean there’s also “unicorn years”?

I seem to recall in The Lord of the Rings that an elf said to someone in the Fellowship, “what is time to an immortal.”

Would be nice if 3 months felt slower

The Last Unicorn can confirm this.

Kids get 3 month summer breaks?!?

What’s Marigold going to do when Phoebe grows up?

So summer time, which is normally fun, felt like 700 years to Marigold? I’d hate to think of how long boring times feel like for her.

Not even when the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain?

Time flies when you are with a good friend. Or if you are stuck glazing at your own reflex.

I agree with Marigold. Summer seems like it has been dragging on for 700 years. I’m glad it’s almost the beginning of fall.

Phoebe’s school year starts unusually late.

Yes beings of an advanced state have conquered time and death. Just look at the Houyhnhnms.

I started school already 3 weeks ago

OH, oh!! So THAT is my problem with time!

Summer always seemed to last a long time when I was a kid. At least until those last three days or so. Now it’s over before I’ve even gotten ready to enjoy it.
