When I came down for breakfast this morning, I found Suki the Pixie sitting in my chair.  I went over to see her, and I saw that her wings were drooping and she was sobbing uncontrollably.  I wasn’t quite sure … Continue reading →

Eventually I had an idea how I could cheer Suki up.  I got a thistle leaf and cut the prickles off with a vegetable knife.  When I offered that to Suki she brightened up straight away. I discovered the snag … Continue reading →

One day I was staring absent-mindedly into some water that had collected on the patio.  I suddenly noticed that Suki was standing next to my feet, and then she touched the water with one finger.  For a moment the water … Continue reading →

‘So what do you want me to do about this sunflower?’ I asked Suki.  ‘I suppose we could dig it up.’ Suki turned pale.  ‘That would make me a murderer!’ she gasped.  ‘It was unkind to us when we were … Continue reading →

‘I’ve known Siôn ever since he was two inches tall,’ said Ithric.  ‘I remember the day he first walked, and the day he first flew.  I’m sure he’d never sell us to the witch on purpose.  Someone must have put … Continue reading →

Looking around the featureless landscape that used to be Suki’s world, I noticed a brick building about a mile away.  It was the only sign of civilisation, so I started walking towards it, picking my way over the rock that … Continue reading →

The next thing I knew, I was lying on a cold concrete floor.  I lay there for a few minutes, just relieved to be alive.  I could feel something half in my pocket and half out.  I moved slightly, so … Continue reading →
