Junk Drawer

I spotted this mythical beast just over a week ago, actually, right before Halloween, sitting on top of a garbage bin. It’s a unicorn costume, in a very small size, complete with iridescent wings, soft horn, and rainbow colored mane. I imagine some family was sorting through their Halloween costumes and decided to part with this one.
When you’re a kid, you don’t want to be the same thing you were before for Halloween. And chances are, your younger siblings don’t want hand-me-down costumes, because they want to be original, and find their own things to be. Therefore, the Halloween costume has a limited lifespan. But one like this is simply too nice to throw away. I tried to sell it on craigslist, and then just give it away. But it was probably too late, and everybody already had their costumes.
So I suppose I’ll donate it.

When I was younger, I remember kids assembling costumes from various things, rather than buying them entirely. It was more creative, and you could personalize it. Even so, the unicorn could be pretty original, with a good amount of imagination.
This magical creature costume will probably end up in a thrift store junk drawer, waiting until next Halloween.
