Fairies have always enchanted children. Here is a twist on the nice fairies everyone knows.I was sitting around looking over some old files. You know how it is, like junk you've got to clean out of the attic, basement, or garage. It kinda put me in the mood to pull the wings off some flies. Unfortunately, I'm not fast enough to catch flies anymore, plus it's winter in Texas. I found an old short story I wrote for Renee several years ago when she was compiling An Anthology of Modern Fairy Tales #1. Loki was the only one around with wings so I pulled them! Enjoy!

Although I am but a shadow of what the man I once was, a glimmer of hope has sparked some life into my pitiful existence.Her. Views: 605
