A man who's always seen the world through an artistic lens, where boat railings are covered in vermilion paint under cotton candy clouds, would like nothing more than to get validation from the son who's always thought his father was crazy. What if he isn't crazy at all? What if faeries are real? What if pixies did steal his shoes? Sometimes fathers and sons have lenses that will never be focused the same.
Like most of my stories, this one has a surprise ending that makes people say, "Wait! What's next?! Give me more!" If you want more after you read it, you better tell me! :)

This is a short story I wrote for a series of shorts I am putting together for a community education course that I hope to teach one day (maybe in retirement to keep me from going stir-crazy, though that's still quite a ways a way). I've receive so much good feedback, that I have decided to turn this short into a novel. I wrote 60+ words for in November of 2019 for NaNoWriMo and am hoping to be done writing and editing it mid-2020 so I can query it to agents.
