This week I'm taking a break for The Brat and sharing more of a short paranormal story that so far has failed to find a home.
A moth, a light beige moth, with fuzzy hairs on its head, ignored the solar lamps and settled on the cushion beside me. I smiled. Moths, butterflies and other insects fed and bred off the plants and flowers, birds nested in the boxes I set up, and used the shrubbery as secret pathways to their destinations when they didn’t want to fly. But faeries?
“Nah!” Even I had trouble with that idea. The moth launched into the dark, hovered, then settled on my knee. Its beady eyes staring straight into mine. If a moth could exhibit disgust, then I was witnessing the event.
“The trouble with humans,” an indignant voice huffed, “is that they can’t see beyond the end of their noses.”

Did that moth just talk? hehe. Loved your sample. Thanks for sharing.
You're writing is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder how she'll react to being scoffed at by a moth. Nice sweet :)
Enjoyed your sample and I'm wondering about that moth...becoming a human butterfly?
Ooooohhhh, I like this Sherry.
Love to see how she reacts to the speaker, when she finds out who it is

Interesting you don't assume it's the moth... LOL. Thanks for coming by.
I thought it was the moth, too, since the voice referred to "the trouble with humans". Interesting!
Ha ha! This is wonderful! Thanks.
Loved the photo and the moth's comment. Nice entry!
Oh my, I need to know who just spoke! Is it a faerie? And I absolutely love this line: 'and used the shrubbery as secret pathways to their destinations'
Thanks for stopping by my site!
Sherry, if this one doesn't find a home soon, I might resort to bribery to read it.

Oh, wonderful! I hope this finds a home!
