    About this ebook

    I was sitting around looking over some old files. You know how it is, like junk you've got to clean out of the attic, basement, or garage. It kinda put me in the mood to pull the wings off some flies. Unfortunately, I'm not fast enough to catch flies anymore, plus it's winter in Texas.
    I found an old short story I wrote for Renee several years ago when she was compiling An Anthology of Modern Fairy Tales #1. Loki was the only one around with wings so I pulled them!
    Enjoy!

    Author

    Stephen Brandon

    I've loved westerns and science fiction since I picked up my first book at the public library. I've been writing on my computer for years. I never planned on any of my stories being published, just to be read by myself, family, and friends. The base journal is on forty spreadsheets with links to about a thousand files of short one day paragraphs plus other stories. {My claim to fame, written by someone else. Thanks.} "As an earthbound retiree, Stephen writes mostly science fiction and short stories. He is a voracious reader and has written for a few years, publishing his stories on Smashwords."

      Author's Notes

      I was sitting around looking over some old files. You know how it is, like junk you've got to clean out of the attic, basement, or garage. It kinda put me in the mood to pull the wings off some flies. Unfortunately, I'm not fast enough to catch flies anymore, plus it's winter in Texas.

      I found an old short story {Prologue and Chapter 1} I wrote for Renee several years ago when she was compiling An Anthology of Modern Fairy Tales #1. Loki was the only one around with wings so I pulled them! Enjoy!

      The other stories, turned into chapters, I wrote at different times when wing pulling felt appropriate.

      Prologue

      The Fairy Court is now in session.

      Loki, you have been charged with disorderly conduct, causing mystic damage, and injury to another fairy.

      How do you plead?

      Guilty, your honor.

      Mr. Prosecutor, do you have any suggestions or comments before I pass judgment.

      Yes, your honor. The injured party requested lenience. She also emphasized the fact that Loki is young and immature. She also claimed, if allowed she can repair the mystic damage.

      "Well, in light of her request, I'll have to review all the facts, his history, her plea, and come
