‘First time I saw what looked like a mix of a frog and a sparrow. When I got closer the little thing gave me a look of malice. I felt it was male. When he noticed I could see him he when [sic. when he was] invisible. Second time a stick lying by a road start to float and melt and took a shape of some winged creature. It was so fast I couldn’t even believe it. The wood just went like liquid wax and went invisible as got up in the air.’ ‘One was a mix of frog and sparrow with a fuzzy coat all over. I don’t know how I know it was male. I just felt its sex. The other was like wood made of wax melting. The other one I couldn’t tell the sex.’ ‘[Fairies are] another life form.’ ‘Thank you so very much for this. it makes me less lonely when it comes in terms of sharing an experience.’
