Pegasus and the dentist

This narrative of non sequiturs was pieced together in response to this week’s Unicorn Challenge photo prompt.

So, who’s the target today?

That guy with the black cowboy hat.

Why him?

If it wasn’t bad enough that he’s a dentist, he has no soul. Likes to shoot endangered animals in the wild and hang their heads on his wall.

What’s he doing here then? Horses are hardly endangered.

Because that’s no ordinary horse. It’s a direct descendant of Pegasus.

So where are the wings?

Bellepheron cut them off the original Pegasus after he captured him and rode him to slay the Chimera.

So this Bellepheron was kind of an ancient Greek dentist.

Hmmm, hadn’t quite thought of it that way but now that you mention it …. Anyway Pegasus ended up as thunderbolt carrier for Zeus up on Olympus and sired more offspring than Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.

Are you trying to tell me Screamin’ Jay was Greek too?

No, of course not. But that horse out there is a direct descendant of Pegasus and the dentists wants to buy it.

And then what?

Release it into the wild so he can track it down and shoot it and stick its head on his wall.

Well, that’s enough for me. What’s the address of his surgery?

I’ll text you all the details. So what’s the plan?

Take him down in his natural environment, of course.

What, shoot him?

Oh, that would be uncivilised, as well as unsatisfying. No, I’ll just strap him to his dentist chair, grab his drill and put him in touch with his feelings.

  1. Doug, very much enjoyed how you showed the cruelty of human nature through generations and how karma in this instance has a mission it intends on fulfilling. I hope the dentist lives with daily drillings for eternity.
