The Acadia Fairy

Our story begins in a land far, far away.

There lived a fairy and his family.

In a nice suburban house in a moderately nice neighbourhood. "Nice".

He enjoyed his garden.

Spent a lot of time out there. Yes, he still had the little yellow car.

He was content, making a living as a blogger, and still had some royalties from his latest book.

There was a son, Dewayne, intermittently at boarding school.

This weekend, Jezzer invited him home from his boarding school to wax his car.

There was an Invitation from a Very Important Person from the Long Term Planning Department in Smokey Town, a Mr Geoffrey Plenoza.

"We would like you to come and work at the Town Hall of our new city. This is a very important job!"

"Why me?"

"We have heard of you, by reputation only, of course."

"What would this job entail? I'm no politician."

"Oh, greeting visitors, showing people around, that type of thing."

"Sounds good to me. I was chief Gravaeyard Superintendent before. What about those political dinners, that type of thing?"

"You would be very welcome!"

"When can I start?"

"We will pay your moving expenses, get here as quickly as you can."

It was evening by the time they arrived. Leaving Dewayne to struggle with their cases, Jeromy went quickly toward the mansion.

On his arrival, he was met by Plenoza. "You won't need those cases. Let your son deal with them. Let's walk in the garden."

Once they were alone, he turned and looked at Jezzer.

"I imagine you would like to discuss terms."

"In this new position, you will be pretty wealthy."

"Right now, I'm getting pretty wet. Can we get on with it?"

"Do you expect me to talk?"

"No, Mr. Craig, I expect you to die!" He threw a bottle of Mummy's Curse Elixir at Jeromy.

"What?"

"Haha! You can't catch me that easily, I'm a fairy, I am immune!"

"Oh, what - my hands are"

"Smoking? Not smoking - this is dust."

"So much dust."

"What have you done to me?"

"Made you a permanent resident, Mr Craig."

"Welcome to Smokey Town."

And finally, all that was left was a pile of ash.

Of course, the Reaper came.

"What's happening out here?" Lily Lum came wandering out of the house, vague as usual.

"What have you got on your head?"

"Something experimental from the Science Lab - oh!"

"Oh dear."

"I'm so sorry."

"It's a fair cop. I won't beg."

He shook hands with the Grim Reaper.

And without further ado, he dived into the tombstone.

Lilith the cat was not impressed.
