Fireflies
They called it forest magic, as the flickering lights danced among the tress. Fairies disguised as fireflies. There used to be hundreds, once upon a time. But now few remain, their light snuffed out in mason jars. Children can be such horrid creatures.

Sigh. That is so true. Children can be such unintentional villains (and sometimes, even on purpose).
ReplyDeleteYes, mostly I think it's not malicious, just an unintentional consequence of their innocence.
DeleteI have to say … I laughed out loud and said ‘oh no’ … loving this bit of magic.
ReplyDeleteLol. I like a little twist at the end. I didn't even realize I was heading there when I started.
