Fire Escapes by Heather Knight 80 Word Flash Fiction contest entry |
‘Do you believe in fairies?’ Maya asked her best friend. They were sitting on a dusty fire escape waiting for their mums to come back from work. ‘Nah! If there were fairies, we wouldn’t have to live like this.’ ‘Ms. Wilson says fairies are real.’ ‘Ms. Wilson’s white. Magic’s only for whites.’ ‘Are you sure? Look!’ Maya opened her hand and a shiny sprite flew around the girls and, for the first time ever, they believed they had a future.
