58. Sylvia and the wishing well

Sylvia was a lonely fairy

She’d hang around at the wishing well knowing humans went there to throw money in

She didn’t want the money, she could barely lift a penny

She just wanted a friend.

Sylvia once had 6 sisters and 7 brothers but many of them died

It was around the time ‘Hook’ was released at the cinema, and the cocky kids kept saying they didn’t believe in fairies.

Sylvia went to the well every day but was scared to show herself

If seen and mentioned there was a bigger chance someone would say she didn’t exist.

So she watched from a distance

As children threw copper and silver into the well she once called home

Wishing for a bit of magic
