Fairy Longbeard stood on the crowded street corner, waiting politely for the light to change. He needn’t have stopped at all, but the human world had grown on him in the last few decades and playing along with their silly little rules amused him greatly. “Might as well, won’t get another chance at it after tonight,” he said to no one in particular

Oh, Milo, never get into a card game with a namless, faceless entity when your destiny is on the line! That's the first thing they teach you in Introduction to Dealing With Nether Creatures 101. Poor lad.

Great first topic entry! Looking forward to more!

I started sharing songs inspired by the entries during the introduction week and I'm continuing doing it this week. Here's one your entry made me think of:

Poor Milo. His fecklessness didn't just cost him, it cost other people too.

There's no such thing as a "sure bet," and virtually no one who wants to give you something for nothing. Especially a nameless, faceless enitity.

I like the urban fantasy setting and the plot felt really original.

Thank you!

I laughed at the end, it's such a fairy trickster type of thing to do, that prediction. Very well written, I enjoyed it.

I was not expecting a fairy story! I liked this so much, the dialogue, the way it played out. And that there's going to be more! Well done. :)
