Shopping Away Forever

The Pharmacopus doffed his cap as Faerie entered the store. Her silver bells jangled in acknowledgement of the welcome.  Faeries were seldom seen shopping in this part of Forever. At the back of the store a  Humbug fluttered its black wings in disgust.

“Pooh.” Faerie said.

The Humbug melted  becoming some child’s nightmare in the Sensed world.

She found what she sought in the deadly toxins aisle. Her silvery hand bent to the bottle marked “Faerie-Graying”.

She paid with her silver bells.

“You know what this does?” Pharmacopus asked.

Faerie nodded, then smiled.

Outside the store she drank the whole bottle. Forever faded away and Somewhere a baby was born.
