"Jackson Matthew Wright! If you keep making that face, you'll freeze that way!"
Jackson didn't listen. He kept his face frozen all through supper, his eyes crossed, his nose scrunched, and his tongue rolled into a tube.
His mother ran her hands through her hair and gave an exasperated sigh. "Jacksonā¦pleaseā¦"
Jackson didn't listen. Still he kept making his face, eating his food through his rolled-up tongue.
A tiny, stick-thin little man in a pointed hat hopped onto the table and sighed guiltily. "Sorry, kid," he said, tapping Jackson on the nose. "But don't say your mother didn't warn you."
Hey guys!
To all the people who have read/commented/enjoyed these one-shots: thank you! It means so much to me to know that you're reading.
And a special thank-you to Paper Lily Webs-I think you've reviewed every chapter so far, which is sooooo amazing! I really appreciate it.
And now I have a challenge.
If YOU have a childhood myth/legend you believed in that you want me to turn into a guardian, lemme know! (Both in the comments and by PM!) It can be anything from a figure you believed in (for example, I'm thinking my next chapter will be about the infamous Toilet Monster) to a saying your mother told you (the green-eyed envy monster is also in the works.)
And once again, thank you so much for reading! As you can probably tell, I'm trying to write at least one one-shot a day, and I've got plenty of ideas, so...yeah! This might turn out to be a very long series thing...
Ciao!
