So the cosmonaut is in there and he has this portal window and he’s looking out of it and he sees the curvature of the earth for the first time. He’s the first man to ever look at the planet he’s from. And he’s lost in that moment and all of a sudden there’s this strange ticking. A few days go by with this sound and he knows that this small sound will break him. He will lose his mind. What’s he gonna do? He’s up in space. Alone. In a space closet. He’s got 25 days left to go with this sound. So Cosmonaut decides the only way to save his sanity is to fall in love with this sound. So he closes his eyes and he goes into his imagination and then he opens them. He doesn’t hear ticking any more. He hears music. And he spends the remainder of his time sailing through space in total bliss and peace.

I’ve fallen in love. I’m an ordinary woman. I didn’t think such violent things could happen to ordinary people.

“The Last Unicorn Is the Anti-Disney Fairy Tale” by Myrna Waldron

Molly Grue’s life story is a particularly sad and poignant one. As the commonlaw wife of an infamous outlaw known as Captain Cully, she has watched her youth fade, and become endlessly frustrated with having no money, no food, and endless mouths to feed. She is incredibly kind, but deeply dissatisfied with her lot in life. When she finally meets The Unicorn, she is enraged because, unlike in fantasy lore where the unicorn always comes to a beautiful young virgin, The Unicorn has come to her when she is middle-aged and, perhaps, sexually ruined. (Being the lover of an outlaw could not have done great things for her reputation.) “How can you come to me now, when I am this?” Molly bitterly asks her. This, I think, is a commentary on how fairy tales always seem to only value the young and innocent, and see women who are no longer young and virginal as corrupted, tainted, and worthless. The Unicorn, however, recognizes Molly’s incredible kindness, and, comforting her the best she can, tells her, “I’m here now.”
