Prompts

1) Bug Invasion: The bugs can't hold their liquor. Some of them are morose drunks, some are giddy drunks, and so on ... oh, pity the ones so sensitive that they get tipsy from cough medicine. A few are lucky enough to be riding teetotalers, but as they get desperate for hosts, some have mounted alcoholics.

2) Unicorn/Factory: Everyone knows that unicorns like to eat roses. But wait, aren't rosebushes thorny and discouraging? So unicorns must be like goats, able to eat darn near anything! Unicorns nibbling the bark and buds off the expensive new landscaping in front of the factory. Unicorns getting into people's garbage, working the latches with their horns. A unicorn chewing on the factory manager's boots. They aren't "pure" -- they purify. Big difference.

3) Tir na Cali -- faery roses in silver or blue. Can they still be grown only Underhill, or has someone somehow discovered how to raise them in the human world?
