The Dying Tooth Fairy
Samuel stared at the iridescent light above his bed as he twiddled his loose tooth with the tip of his tongue. He was seven years old and had yet to lose his first tooth. He was a child with a wild imagination who believed in the impossible. Jackson, his older brother, was vile according to Samuel. A literal “fun crusher”. Jackson kept telling Samuel that the tooth fairy does not exist. Samuel, being a child of pure faith and belief in the unknown, laughed in his brother's face. Unable to wait for his tooth to fall on its own, he yanked his wobbly tooth out of the socket with his bare hands. As the blood gushed out of his mouth, his brother came and clocked him in the head for dirtying the carpet as he knew he would be responsible for the mess. Samuel, carelessly, stumbled to the bathroom and washed the blood off his hands and face. He ran his small tooth under the cold water: watching the blood-stained tooth regain its pearly white hue. Bubbling with excitement, he ran to the backyard and laid on the green grass, staring at the sky above and imagining the tooth fairyland amongst the clouds.
