Unicorns

"What if the world could stop being so cruel to the people who live in it? What if we could all learn to be happy with each other?" Tears were streaming down her face. She had been hurt by the world many times and it was killing him. He didn't want to give her false hope. Taking her face in her hands, he spoke the harshest words he would ever say to her.

"That, my dear girl, is a fairy tale. This world doesn't believe in "Happy Ever After" and neither do I. Unicorns would prance around the world before it decided to suddenly become fair. The only thing we can do in this world is to get up when it pushes us down." He took his hands off of the fallen girls face and walked away, leaving her crying on the floor.
