The Hunt

“Shhh! Here they come with their dratted spotlight! Why can’t they just leave us alone?”

“Foolish humans, thinking they can trap us. Never have. Never will.”

“You lot over there, you need to separate and blink off, or the fools will see you! Right now!”

“Let’s play a bit. Tease them. Blink off and on, go high and let them catch your light, then wink out. It drives them crazy!”

The faeries played their games, leading the hunters in circles until morning light made their lights invisible.

“Another good night’s work,” laughed one.
