What could be more frightening for a person than realizing they are unnecessary? And for a non-human? When you realize that your age is already over, and no matter how good you are, you’ll be sent to the outskirts.
This is a short and kind fairy tale about evil. Somewhat sad, but also somewhat bright—and it is truly life-affirming.
Author’s note:
The story is perfect for an evening cup of tea. Don’t forget to turn on your phones!
