 Finding a Fairy

Once upon a time a young prince walked through the woods, just outside his castle. He was searching for fairies. The tales of their beauty and power of their magic always fascinated the prince. He had dreamed of being one of them, living in a small flowery home in the woods and flying wherever he pleased. Ever since he came of age, his parents tried to find him a bride but he refused, his heart was set on a fairy. He didn’t know which one, but he’d know when he saw her.

On his stroll through the woods, he came across a patch of vibrant pink flowers. He looked through them, hoping a fairy might be hiding among them. Nothing, he saw nothing, other than the flowers. He stood back up and continued his fairy hunting journey. 

Little did he know, there had been a small blue fairy hiding amongst the flowers. She was watching him closely, curious as to what he was doing, but staying out of his sight so he would never find her.

The little fairy continued to follow the prince, flying behind trees and bushes. As the prince stopped, the fairy landed on a small branch of a nearby tree, trying to get a good look at the prince's face. Her focus of his facial features grew to strong, and she forgot to hold on to the tree, sending her tumbling to the ground.

The sound was not loud, but enough for the prince to hear the little fairy hit the ground. As she scrambled to get back to her feet the prince approached her, too fast for her to escape.

“Please don’t hurt me,” she said innocently, avoiding eye contact with the young prince.

At first he said nothing and simply stared at her, admiring her beauty. “I don’t want to hurt you. I wish for you to return to my castle with me!” The prince's excitement showed all over his face.

“Why would I go to your castle?”

“You would be safe there. There are many fairy hunters in these woods. I could protect you back at my castle.”

“I don’t need your protection, I am perfectly capable of protecting myself!”

“But you were cowering as I approached you.”

“Well…yes…but… I would have figured something out! I have survived many years in these woods all on my own,” she says sternly.

“Please return to my castle with me.” The fairy rolls her eyes and starts to turn away. “Or! Let me stay with you. Make me into a fairy and let me live with you, and protect you in your home.”

“You can’t be serious.”

“Oh but I am! I have always loved the tales of the fairies and dreamed of becoming one.”

The fairy thinks for a moment, “Well I can’t make you into a fairy but I can make you the size of a fairy.”

“That would be wonderful, then you and I would be more alike.”

The fairy pulls out her wand and waves it towards the prince, blue sparkles dusting out of it. The prince begins to shrink in a blue cloud of smoke and is left the same size as the little fairy.

Taking a moment to examine himself, the prince waves his arms and legs around. He stares up at the now massive trees, “This is amazing! Thank you!” He goes to the fairy and forcibly hugs her. “Thank you.”

Quickly the blue fairy takes her wand and stabs the prince straight through the heart. The prince’s lifeless body falls to the ground, “Told you I could protect myself.”


The End

4/18/22 The Hypno-Toilet

  The Hypno-Toilet You stare at the toilet water as it spins round and round. All sense of time is gone as you are mesmerized by the swirl. It is not very fast or harsh, just a steady flow of circling water. The soft swishing noises are so calming and all you can do is stand and stare. A loud buzzing noise, tries desperately to alarm you of the damage being caused to the septic tank. Slowly the tank fills up higher and higher with the wasted toilet water. You cannot hear the alarm, you are too entranced by the water in the bowl.  As the water level rises in the underground tank, the alarm continues to blare. The little pump works as hard as it can, but without your help, it is helpless. The thought of leaving the bathroom hasn’t even crossed your mind. All that flows through your brain is the soft swirling water.  The toilet water consumes your thoughts, nothing else matters to you anymore, only the water. You aren’t even sure why it is happening, the swirling water is nice yes

12/25/22 Paper Floor

  Paper Floor Boxes, bags, and wrapping paper were scattered across the floor. It was hard to step on just the carpet without getting some form of paper on your foot. It seemed like the floor was completely covered and the mess would be impossible to clean.  The next day the mess stayed, no one cleaning it up. The day after that and the day after that, nothing was done about it. The carpet was no more, it was just trampled wrapping paper and squished bags. Years passed, they forgot what the carpet even looked like in the living room. They had grown so accustomed to the paper, it just felt right now. They didn’t miss the carpet and didn’t mind the mess, and so the wrapping paper stayed, on the floor, forever. The End 12/25/22

9/22/22 We the Dreamers

  We the Dreamers We the dreamers, we the inventors, we the artists, we who wish for something more than what we already have, we create. Sometimes our creations are logical and possible. But other times we delve into the impossible, the dreams we wish would come true.  Anything can come from nothing if you dream hard enough. Everything already came from nothing, first there was nothing, and then there was everything. We continue on to make everything, even things that don’t exist.  The physical creations and the theoretical dreams alike, leave us striving for greatness. It makes us want to be better than we are, more than we can be, even if it is just a dream. Our brains are powerful, wonderful, amazing devices that let us learn and explore and create. To create, be original, discover or come up with something new, that is what we do. We the dreamers make the world a more interesting place. The End 9/22/22
