This is all there is so far. As the copyright reveals, the last time I touched this was in 2004. I do know where the story goes; I just haven’t written it yet. I have had other stories that demanded attention. I have about four other stories, and I can’t decide which to complete first. It may be a condition called abulia. Heard of it? Though it’s not really a matter of making a decision, but rather one of sticking with it, instead of thinking, no, I should work on this one instead… And, actually, a lot of the writing gets pushed aside for stuff that brings in some money. Sadly, you cannot always follow your passion, because some passions don’t pay the bills!

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

I was trying for a more realistic touch on a fairy story. We often imagine little kids and fairies; I think there are even some tales that only small children can see fairies. So, I thought, what would happen if teenage boys knew about fairies? Little boys tear wings off flies, and lots of teenage boys want nothing more than to see a naked woman. That adds up to bad news for fairies!

BTW, question:

Have you finished writing this or have you only started it and plan on writing it as you go along Charles Dickens style…
