The Fairy Blackberry

When her sister disappears into the fairy realm, a girl and her best friend mount a rescue.  But while it’s quite easy to get into the fairy realm, almost no one gets out. 

Genre: Fairy Tale

Excerpt: It’s quite easy to get into the fairy realm, you see. They want you to come to them. They need you to come to them. So quite easy to get into the fairy realm. But almost no one gets out.

There were eight hundred and eighty-eight doors leading into the fairy realm. And only eight leading out.

What’s the Word (that inspired the story)?I have no idea. I don’t think there was one. But here’s an intriguing word that appears in the story: Harridan: a scolding, vicious woman; hag; shrew. (source: dictionary.com)

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. At right, two little girls standing next to each other. The one at left stands facing forward, her long hair pinned to either side, arms at her side, looking and smiling down at the outstretched hands of the girl at right. The girl at right is seen from left profile, mouth parted, brows raised, looking down at her hands. Her upper arms are at her side, bent at the elbow with her cupped hands held out. In her palms, there stands a small human figure whose features are not visible, but whose face is raised up to the girl. Behind the girls is shrubbery. Along the left edge is a tree.
