The call had come via cellular phone from a hysterical woman who was unclear about precisely what her emergency was, to anyone's ears, but my my could she scream.
That "woman" was a local unicorn - who'd been strolling uptown and was down the block after her first trot into a very nice local coffee-and-tea shop - and, in fact, her emergency is a bad hair day.
Woeful understatement!
By the time the ambulance arrives she's gotten most of the screaming torn out into the air and blown away, and most of the mane torn off her head.
The back half of her body's tangled in the enormous accumulated hairball of a likewise enormous hairbrush and she bucks the best she can with both her hind legs off the ground and still half-screaming "Rrrrgh"s!
"Unhand me, you... RUFFIAN!" She twists her head around, not that she can't see it in her peripheral without looking further than that, to find a face to yell in - can't find one. "YOU TOOK MY HAIR; you are NOT taking MY TAIL!"
