Tall Tale

        "I once played with faeries."

        "Sure."

        "They were mean creatures, but had talent for slapstick."

        "That's nice."

        "It wasn't really.  That's why it happened."

        "What?"

        "Well, I stepped on one."

        "Sounds terr—wait, you stepped on a faerie?"

        "Not intentionally.  They stopped playing after, so I can't give you any proof."

        "Who says I want proof?  Or anyone else."

        "I assumed from what ---"

        "Well don't assume.  Don't do anything, in fact.  Just... disappear."

       The young girl disappeared on the very spot, never to be heard from again.  All the other girls in her house cried... but only for a little while.
