My piece for Dark Fairy Zine.
Loosely following the medieval Sephardic tradition of Las Fadas. In medieval Spain Sephardic Jews would hold welcoming ceremonies for baby girls to give them their Hebrew name, and in some accounts circle the child to protect them from evil fairies.
My story follows a fairy who's done his best to track down a girl he was once set on stealing away- only to find out she'd grown into a handsome man who doesn't perceive him due to a lack of belief in his kind. His frustration changes to confusion and endless yearning for something he'll never have, doomed to be an eternal observer.
