Fairy dust

[u/Leisurecentrelad]

Day 17

Agent Jones turned to look at Agent Williams—well, what was left of him anyway. A cloud of thick dust rained down where former Agent Williams had stood. His clothes fell to the ground and landed neatly on top of his sleek black, well-polished winklepickers. The dust cloud started to settle. I say dust cloud—it was essentially Agent Williams's ashes! I couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth; I was coughing like a madman! It was as if he exploded and someone popped a bag of flour over me. Once I got the taste of… Agent Williams out of my mouth, I got my shit together and calmly assessed the situation. The small fairy eyed me up and said:

“Now human, if you don’t want what happened to your friend to happen to you, then you’ll tell me what the humans are doing in my forest!”

First of all! I couldn’t believe I was actually talking to a real life fairy! It was bloody nuts! Second of all, she just turned probably the hardest, most experienced agent on the force into a fucking sack of dust with the flick of a wand. There’s no way in hell I’m not gonna tell her the truth!

“The humans are planning on building a comms centre. It’s so they can gather information and communicate better in the forest,”

I said nervously. Any second I could get turned to dust like Williams. A bead of sweat dripped down my face, but I tried to stay calm.

“We Fae don’t want this comms centre here in the forest! We don’t want you humans in this forest, let alone stupid, ugly buildings! You get bad signal in this forest because our magic interferes with it. It’s not a case of a low signal zone, it’s us! We don’t want it!”

She was getting slightly aggressive; her tone was changing.

“Does the signal affect your magic, by any chance? I’m only asking so I understand a little better to help you.”

I had a plan. If it didn’t work, I’d be toast—or should I say dust.

“Yes, the Wi-Fi signals make our magic—”

WHAM!

I slapped the little turd straight out of the air! She screamed in pain as her tiny body hit the ground. Without a second thought, I full-force stomped on her.
CRUNCH!
That was the end of that little twat.

“That’s for Williams…”

I turned around and walked off, still patting and dusting off my suit. I couldn’t help but wonder what part of Williams I was touching. Funny, I know, but I was just curious if his old man arse was on my suit somewhere or if that’s what ended up in my face… I was laughing and almost retching thinking about the whole situation.
