They labeled the reports fake news, a myth concocted to defraud the susceptible. Rumors persisted and experts swore to the claim’s veracity. Video evidence showed the transformation of an ancient chrysalis discovered in the museum’s basement.
“Roman,” some proclaimed.
“Greek,” cried others.
“Carbon dating says it’s much older.”
The curious stood in the line determined to see the beast before their eyes and discern the truth.
His pure white coat glimmered, crowned by a sparkling mane and golden hooves. The horse’s most notable features were his massive wings.
Pegasus, they said had returned from the heavens to save the world.

The fabled Pegasus, is it really here for the good of humanity, or perhaps it is here to speed us on our way into extinction. Which ever I very much liked how you utilised the prompt photo

With too many ‘Gift Horses,’ it’s been the far end that we’ve had to deal with. 😳
