The essential idea here is really strong, and I read it as a neat allegory for all beautiful things being dangerous on their own way…
I do think you could have spent more time on the build-up though – I was barely finished visualising this unicorn in the field when suddenly there was a bloodbath going on!
Structure also could have been a little more defined, and the title, although fit for purpose, kind of clues the reader in to the fact that a twist is coming, and dulls the shock a bit.
Good wording in the last few lines particularly, and I like that the scene is set for some kind of ‘confrontation’ – with edits and possibly expansions, I really think this could be interesting – MH :)
