I'm staring blankly at my wall, half expecting a milk-white unicorn to gracefully come trotting. The cracked paint ripples slightly and you could almost hear the faint sound of thumping hoofs. And as I lie back on my bed, eyes slighly closed, Everly trots up quietly. With graceful gentleness, he lays his head on my lap. As Everly folds his wings, I caught a whiff of green apples. It could only mean...

And with nary a movement, Everly looks up at me with expectant brown eyes, beckoning me towards the wall.

'Sigh no... not today, Everly. I'm not interested to see the mischief you've been up to. Stop twitching you ears! I'm not following you... I've got important things to do here...'

Everly threw back his head and neighed indignantly. His ears now twitching faster like clockwork. 'Come on... I've got things to show you... you'll be thrilled!'

'No.. I..I... can't...'

'Come on now.. since when you're so hesitant? It'll be fun! I'll fly carefully this time, promise'

...

'Come on... I've really got something to show you!'

Everly was strangely very persistent... and patient with me. Sigh, I just hope it's not what I think it is. Well, there's only one way to find out.

As I sat on Everly's back, he trots into the wall, then galloping, he spreads his wings and soars into the air.

Everly is taking me to Boredom, my newly enthroned kingdom. A place for wishful thinking. It lies to the north of Eskimo-nia, the land of the mechanical polar bears...
