‘My brother and I were sitting in the living room. The dog started growling and was staring at three [the?] kitchen door. We went into the kitchen to see what he was upset about and saw a figure at the counter. We watched as it opened the dishwasher and started to load it. All the time it sang a song about honey and cakes. My brother kept his hand over my mouth so I wouldn’t say anything, but I managed to get free and said ‘hi!’ The creature stopped, looked back at us, said in voice that reminded me of the great lakes, if that makes sense, ‘Caught! I still want my honey and cakes, child!’ And vanished. They had long curly hair, were very pretty but everything was slightly longer than it should be: ears, fingers, arms, legs. Since then, I have taken to working with the Fae and have become rather used to Them.’ ‘My dad’s family is Welsh and has a history of relationships with the Fae. We always left out honey and cakes for Them.’ Why a fairy? ‘Because I can also see dead people, and this wasn’t human.’ What are fairies? ‘A separate species that once lived openly in earth but now stays mostly in the otherworlds.’
