Faeries
Faeries--sometimes they're spelled fairies when they appear in children's storybooks or such--sometimes they appear faeries in more dignified, tattered-seeming tales. Sometimes they're quite "normal" seeming as faeries go--small and chirpy, dancing about for eternity in delicate frocks, other times they're stern and gruff, or plain odd.
They can be high-tech civilizations living underground who have the power to modify the memories of all above-ground people, they can be mysterious monsters who never come out in the sunlight, but lurk in the shadows, when humans are around.
Some faeries are mischevious, others helpful. Some are cherub-like flower faeries who dwell in peace with daffodils and roses--others are more like Cinderella's wicked stepmother or the evil witch of many legends, brewing poisons and potions in hidden lairs.
The question of whether faeries are real or not is one that usually has "no" for an answer. It really depends, however--if you believe there are faeries, you should have the ability to make yourself see faeries, and if you do not think that you believe in faeries, then the matter is usually closed. One may, however, be influenced by years of "faeries aren't real" from parents/friends/etc., or years of faerie storybooks that most wholeheartedly assure one that faeries are real.
Personally I do not believe in the existence of the legendary magical creatures known as faeries but I still think them a most interesting subject.
Please leave comments about whether you think I am completely mad and that my essay is composed of balderdash, or whether you think faeries are interesting. Or your thoughts on anything written on this blog.
