" Sorrowful Fae " By Erin Ferguson 2023
As the water splashed around her, the fairy couldn't help but feel a deep sense of sadness that seemed to weigh her down like a heavy stone. Her wings drooped and her once-bright aura had faded into a dull gray.
She had been on a journey for what felt like an eternity, traveling from one end of the world to the other in search of something she had lost. But with each passing day, her hope faded and her sorrow deepened.
The water around her, once a source of joy and delight, now only seemed to magnify her sadness. She watched as the fish swam past, their movements quick and carefree, and couldn't help but envy their freedom.
But despite her despair, she refused to give up. With each stroke of her wings, she pushed herself forward, determined to continue her journey and find what she had lost. And though the water was cold and her heart heavy, she knew that she couldn't let her sorrow consume her completely.
As she swam on, her tears mixed with the water, creating a mournful melody that echoed through the depths. But even in her sorrow, the fairy knew that her journey wasn't over yet, and that somewhere, somehow, she would find what she was looking for.
