By the title you are now wondering what really happened to the fairies well I don't know if I should tell you I mean It was you who made them go away no don't say that its not true you did it and hate you for it Frezeaner she was so beautiful with her golden hair and skin like silk and her voice with that special tinkle when she spoke and her tears do you remember when she cried that day when the robin broke is wing her tears fell like diamonds encrusted with ice my she was so beautiful and you did it you made them all go away and there you stand and laugh I hate you

well who wants to add anther paragraph

"Oi! 'Wha' happen to the fairies,' he asks," said Gel, mocking the child. "I stomped on their 'eads, thas wha' happen." Gel laughed and began jumping up and down on the flower bed until the boy began to wail in earnest.

"I hate you!" he cried. "I'm telling Mum!"

"You do tha," said Gel, circling his ear with a forefinger. "She'll know, then, what a nutter you are. Fairies," spat Gel. "Bah!"

From deep within a mole hole came a tiny, tinny voice:

"I really don't know which is worse;
This story, or the fact it's not verse!
It's disguised as a poem,
But we fairies, we'll show 'em -
The Fairies Off-Topical Curse!"

And with that, a great bolt of lightning
sliced right through the afternoon sky,
"Oi! Wha--?" were the last words Gel spoke
as he crashed to the flower bed - dead.

excellent Holly started it last night there was no one here so just a bit of fun to pass the time when insomnia takes me you can only browse folders for so long hope every thing is OK with you

True enough, but I was surprised to see it here under "Poetry" instead of "Prose" - must've been late, Ian!

And yeah, you have to join in, otherwise everyone's just browsing, waiting for the other guy to start some conversation. That's kind of a weird thing, in a FORUM...this is like the Seventh Grade Dance, you ask me. Where's the punch bowl?

O yes it was late but its not the first time and I am sure it will not be the last I didn't give it a thought when I placed it here I was reading through some old post when it came to me so I just went ahead and did the foul deed and put it in the wrong place I will not do it again but it was an interesting experiment do you think it is possible to have a whole short story made up like this

Best wishes

Ian, go look in prose - check out the link, then come back and add to the story. Of course it's "possible" - and it's been done through the ages, mostly by campers and bored Surrealists, I think. You never played this game as a kid?
