A Visitor


I was about to step into the shower the other day when the Photo Fairy tapped me on the shoulder.

“Excuse me, you-who-always-has-a-camera-in-his-pocket, but I notice that you’re not wearing any, uh, pockets right now...” (she giggled.) “I thought you might want to look toward the bathroom window. There’s light there that you might like, and a pretty scene. I just thought I’d let you know...”

And then she was gone. The Photo Fairy vanished. Damn, she was pretty, too.

I found my pants, and my camera. I took the picture the fairy had shown me, then went on with my shower. I had a stupid, love-struck smile on my face.

I hope that fairy comes back soon. What a vision she was!
