The Escaping Fairy

The Escaping Fairy

I am a fairy from a fairy kingdom far far away from the so-called “world”. The life in the kingdom is good; I don’t have to worry what to eat and where to sleep. This is the life other fairies call “heaven”, which is supposed to be a place where there is only happiness and satisfaction. However, I could hear screaming and yelling full of pains and tortures from the place far far away every night after I went to sleep. I told someone else about the annoying voice and they just asked me to stop joking, “There is no screaming and yelling full of pains at all!” They laughed at me as response. I argued with them time after time and day after day but no one listened to me at all, and some of them even thought I was crazy. Finally, I could not stand them anymore and I went to the palace of the king and told him about these happening. He had not said anything until I decided to leave. “Sweet heart,” he called me, “that’s the noise from your heart.” I turned back, seeing him smiling at me peacefully. I became angrier and I decided to go to the place where the screaming was coming from. After I just stepped out of the palace, the king called me again, “Kid, do think about it. You have to pay for what you did.” I was completely angry because of the attitudes that everyone held towards me and I decided to fly out of heaven at once. But the second I left heaven, my white wings that I was so proud of, were gone and my body suddenly became so heavy that it fell directly downwards beyond my control. While my body kept falling down and I did not know what happened, the king’s voice appeared in my head again, “Kid, later you have to pay for what you did. You will never go back to being fairy from a stone until someone in the world finds you and recognizes that you are actually a fairy.” Bump!!! I fell down on the ground filled with weeds and wild grass—I became a stone—a stone fairy…
