“The pixie and the Log” by Aseret Franco

Submitted to Contest #87

"Be careful." Sam led us down a moldy road after walking for over an hour. But the road was not the worst it had taken us, but in front of us, cutting the road, I found a cliff that hid a river at the bottom. The only cross, an old log. "Will we have to go that way?" - Sky asked seeing the unique connection to the other side of the cliff. An old log, wet, and almost breaking. "Come on, nothing will happen." Sam was the first to go up. Leo followed her and then Selene. I hoped Sky would continue to run away. But it didn't happen. "I will prot...

“Your Wish is my Want” by RIC .

Submitted to Contest #87

Alios loved to mess with the mortals who worshiped him. He loved breaking into their homes at night and turning their shoes into puppies and belts into snakes. He loved sending thieves into villages who forgot to leave offerings to him. He loved throwing parties for his fellow omnipotent beings. He loved what he did. But Alios was not all tricks, thieving, and parties. Believe it or not, he was a devoted lover. Or, he was the former king of the pixies who lef...

“The Monkeys Lilly” by Janelle Curry

Submitted to Contest #87

The chandelier’s reflecting light danced on the velvet curtains in the ballroom. “Quite agreeable evening isn't it Lily. Lily?” “Oh-oh yes of course.” Lily was in fact quite distracted. A ruffle in the velvet curtains by one of the large, ornate windows had caught her eye. “Horace, did you see something move in the velvet curtains over there?” She pointed her slender fair arm across to the window. “No, but you know this fondue is quite exquisite! I say Lily, try some-” Horace was quite large, buttons almost bursting at the seams of his...

“The Forest Fairy” by Fay Winter

Submitted to Contest #87

I stare at my prey, trying to think of the funniest prank I can pull on him. What about luring him into the pond, where he then gets covered in mud? That would be hilarious. I decide to go with that one, and I fly over the tree tops and land at the pond. I start singing, and I can hear the boy running towards the pond, trying to find the source of the singing. As soon as he breaks through the trees, I fly up and watch him from above as he slips and slides in the mud, and then face plants in it. I laugh so much. That is so hilarious. He looks...

“The Spectacled Game” by Vijay Poolakkal

Submitted to Contest #87

I knew there was something wrong with my vision. My eyes hurt the moment I took a book for reading. Surprisingly, even the plain looking Urmila, our next door girl, looked stunning. I, therefore, decided to see an eye specialist and asked my elder brother where I could find an ophthalmologist. It was perhaps due to working twenty-four hours a day writing and rewriting a screenplay I was commissioned to write for a movie, thereby pushing my blood pressure up on most days, and minimum rest for my eyes at night. In the hectic schedule of my wo...

“The Last Hunting Trip” by Jeremy Johnson

Submitted to Contest #87

Behind the cover of a fallen oak tree, Carl followed the deer through the lens of his rifle scope, he watched the buck as it walked cautiously around bare trees, nearly three hundred yards in front of him. The snow-covered ground made it easy to see the animal’s dark body as it strolled silently through the ancient forest. There was no way to make a clean shot so the hunter waited and watched, eventually his prey would close the gap between them. He just needed to be patient. A twig snapped off to Carl’s right and he inst...

“Waitress at Bucky's” by Aburrow Marsh

Submitted to Contest #87

In her human form, Theresa, Queen of the Southern Forest, stood out in a crowd. Everyone knew her as the sexy babe who waited tables at Bucky’s Barbecue (“the Best Sauce this side o’ the Mississippi!”). She had wavy black curls, a perfect bust, a scattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks, and penetrating green eyes that some men said resembled those of a cat. She never met a stranger, never got an order wrong, and sometimes gave out her phone number to men passing through town. Her life was flawless, charmed, and totally false.In rea...

“The First Eclipse” by Carlo Sarrosa

Submitted to Contest #87

Once, when all we knew was young, there was only the Creator. He did not constantly watch the worlds He made, rather, He simply created them, starting them on the path to be the world they wanted to be. With the potential of His mind, the peace of His spirit, and the fight of His will, these beings were born to a universe of endless possibilities. Rarely has He ever answered a summons, but on this fateful time, a particularly sullen world called out to Him. “Give us light, we beg of you,” its people said. “Through your guide, we may becom...

“Jade Earrings” by Tolly Maggs

Submitted to Contest #87

Why do I trick humans? What do I gain from tormenting them through deception? What do I have to gain from a little cloak and laughter?Why, my little Erelyn, it’s all so I can have stories to tell.Erelyn opens pulls the drapes and windows wide in her tower – not enough for the wind to blow out her fresh candle, but just enough for me to squeeze in, my cape of stars and moons billowing around me as I step towards her. She smiles softly, and the dawning sun smiles with her, greeting me most pleasantly. I smile and she chuckles that usual soft c...

“The Pixie Tricksters” by Emerson Couch

Submitted to Contest #87

Mx Melody Witherdale was the most mischievous of her time, that’s for sure. Melody was a pixie and not one who helped. She wasn’t necessarily evil, but she wasn’t very good either. If you can imagine April Fools Day as a person… that’s not her. April Fools Day is fun and games and in Melody’s opinion, ‘for newbies’. Melody is more the trickster type, more in line with Loki but less evil and more ‘just for fun’. Melody’s favorite pastime is convincing people that they left something in another room when it's actually in their hand, or making ...

“The Linden Tree” by Laurence Tryon

Submitted to Contest #87

The Linden Tree stood hollow at the center of the village square. She had seen many generations of farmers and their families gather under the shade of her fluttering leaves. The village of Chamarandes was nestled along a portion the Marne River. Its few houses stood in the River’s valley. The land was green and lush, with cow pasture land and bordered on all sides by hilly temperate forests of deciduous trees, a few conifers thrown in at random. The Linden Tree felt alone in her cobblestone square, ...

“A trick done right” by Sira Adams

Submitted to Contest #87

"What to do what to do"Raon sat on the roof of a 4 story high building, looking down on the mortals below. Eyes moving from left to right looking at random strangers walking down the busy street. It was already evening, Raon did not know what time it was nor did he care, knowing that it was evening was enough. Raon had intended to start work early since it was a special day but, even Gods procrastinate. Raon may not THE god, but Raon is still considered a god even though he may not be the big boss trickster god. Raon is more like a sub. The ...
