Challenge
Fairies are cute, adorable little creatures, right? Wrong! Now they are the stuff of nightmares.
For this challenge, I want you to rewrite the same fairies you remember from your childhood dreams into vile, monstrous, and dangerous creatures with a taste for human flesh. Poetry or prose accepted.
Closer, Closer
The faint fluttering of tiny wings,
Sounding in the distance
Closer, closer
A golden gleam of pixie dust,
Drifting throughout the night
Closer, closer
A melodic voice,
Tinkling like chimes in a gentle breeze
Closer, closer
Ever closer
A famished fairy bearing crimson stained fangs,
Longing to feast on human flesh
Closer and closer,
Until you're dead
What a lovely fairytale
