Twilight Carnival - Fairy Floss by Scarlett Rose
This lovely treat was written by our own sweet Scarlett Rose...
I smell fairy floss in the distance and I see people walking with it in their hands, and I so badly just want…mummy’s words interrupt my thoughts as she turns to me saying, “Not now dear, just wait – Mummy’s a little busy right now.” I look up at her and she isn’t looking at me, a muscley man chopping wood captivates her, and I know how effortlessly I can slip away, so … I flit away amidst arms and legs and bodies of the crowd, towards the big scary roller coaster, and see the Fairy Floss booth - people hoard the stand, lining up for their puffs of pink magic on a stick, so I stop- the sight of it completely and utterly mesmerizing, and I crawl beneath the table, sneak my hand up, and pull down a bag of fair floss and sugar at the same time, and the sugar spills its contents everywhere – and that’s when I hear it, “Little girl, what on earth are you doing and why are all these people eating my house? It took me a long time to spin that! And where are your parents -- in fact, where are my parents? Hey! Are you listening to me?”
My jaw drops in as-ton-ish-ment (mummy taught me that word) and my eyes almost fall out of my head because there is a fairy sitting at my feet, talking to me, and asking me questions, asking me to come with her and ride the rides and go on fairy adventures forever and ever - for real! The small fairy grabs my hand, yanks, pleads, falls backwards, and, silently, I nod my head yes, yes, I would fly with her and we would have lots of adventures! Then I feel myself picked up and mummy says, "Delilah! Honey, are you day dreaming? We can go get some fairy floss now!" and I am so sad, but I swear; I swear Mrs. Fairy, I will never eat your house again.

Okay that picture is insanely cool. Scarlett, I loved this piece. It could have been a victorian short story.
