Faery Tales & Nightmares
“A little yellow-skinned creature popped from behind the undergrowth and stepped out in front of Tanya’s feet. His tufted ears brushed her shin as he tilted his head and widened his eyes. The first time she’d seen him out here in the woods, she’d screamed. No one came, of course, and she’d hightailed it out of the thick tangle of trees.
Today, Tanya stepped over him without slowing her pace. “Go away.”
The creature scampered alongside her, darting in an erratic path between her feet. “You though...t about let us fix?”
“No.”
“You have!” His buttercup skin scrunched in deep wrinkles; his lips puffed out like fresh red currants. “Plenty reasons.”
Tanya stopped at a clutch of blackberries. The thorny branches bowed over rotten planks that hid an old well. A couple generations ago, she’d have had to draw water out of there. Thankfully, these days her family had running water. They might be poor, but they weren’t mountain-poor.
The creature collided with her, wrapping his spindly arms around her legs.MoreLess
