'No Pete, we should go home right now! This place isn't safe for us!' Addison makes sure to grab Peter his jacket so he can't run away a second time. 'I have to agree with your sister young man, this isn't a place for mortals. Definitely not for young ones like yourself.' The tall man was standing next to the tree with a big smile plastered on his face. Both Addison and Pete are looking at the weird man speaking to them. He has an unusual pale face and curly long brown hair that falls right of his shoulder. Honestly, he looks a bit silly with the green suit he's wearing. 'Haven't your parents taught you that staring is rude?' *** I've never finished a book. This one I've been opening and closing for over 3 years now. The only problem with this book is that I can't keep it out of my head. So where all the others just stopped, this one I simply cannot ignore. And that's why, my dear reader, you will see this book, which had multiple title AND book covers, on and off published. Fun fact: inside my mind the story is already so big, I wrote a side-book for it containing all the history and characters. So, I guess that's a book I almost finished? Would love to hear your opinion. My English is quite shitty so you will find AND get annoyed by some and/ or multiple spelling mistakes. -I'm deeply sorry. For the love of.. start reading already!

When Fae strike a bargain with the hope and despair of unsuspecting humans, it's more than a snap of fingers, that makes ominous wishes come true. Especially since the mists between the worlds have been torn loose, causing the Fae's spells to be wobbly and unreliable, not just because of their whims. It's up to the likes of Hazel, charm-ing problem solvers, to pave the way for the more powerful spells. Or, for a price, they might scratch a minotaur's horns, introduce a ghost to their grandchildren, or fetch a witch's cat from a tree. Just what you do as a handyman... excuse me... handyplant... of the magical world in a crazy, not-quite-normal post-apocalypse. ---------- A collection of short stories. Every chapter is a mission on it's own. ---------- My participation in the "Fantasmical 2024"
