§687

‘I lost my tooth when I was around five and was expecting to see fairies that night. It was around ten and I stayed awake as my mother fell asleep. We shared the same bed. Suddenly a transparent fairy was waving at me through my window. She had a star wand. I remember. And then two more came, then the whole window was full. They all looked different. Then they were coming into my room. They were on the floor near my bed, and two or three chose to look at me from above. I didn’t move or say anything. I just stared. All I could see was their outline. And it wasn’t white. It was transparent and glimmering. They didn’t speak. I then fell asleep. My father believed me, my mother didn’t. But I know what I saw. I never had imaginary friends or hallucinations. I was wide awake.’ Fairies ‘because they looked like fairies or little elves.’
