The Fairies of Tickle Creek Pond

By Starwolf

About ten years ago, my children built me a pond for Mothers Day. We filled it with plants, koi, and gold fish. Two frogs moved in during the course of the year and became cherished pets to my children. Unfortunately, since we live in a green space, a couple of raccoons discovered our pond and ransacked it one night. As the children were devastated, I created a story to take their minds of it. This is the result of that story.

Starwolf

I am the mother of two wonderful young adults, Cory (age 21) and Randi-Kiana (age 17). When I was young, my father used to take us on long car rides, and to entertain us, he would make up stories using the road signs as characters. He never wrote down any of his stories. Creating stories has always come very easy to me, and I have always enjoyed telling them to the children in my life. I do not want to lose my stories the way we lost my dad’s. In my spare time, I crochet children’s blankets for a local family homeless shelter, ride my 2006 Harley Davidson Dyna Superglide whenever I can, and drive a Ford F250 truck called Big Mama when I can’t. I live with my wonderful husband, two beautiful dogs, three spoiled cats, and a sweet guinea pig in Gresham, Oregon. During the week, I work for a company repairing machinery that produces microchips, paint, play guitar, and write. I have a very full life!

As Tia stood in the shallows of the waterfall, letting the cool, clear blue water gently splash about her ankles, she lovingly stroked her gracefully thin fingers through the golden mane of her best friend as she watched her twin sister, Mia, standing quietly next to her best friend in the creek farther up. The girls had been
