The Dark Tooth Fairy
A Haunting tale of Nightmare Terrors in a Small Town
People in a small town talked about a Tooth Fairy in a dark and true way.
She didn't come to play or give gifts; she came to steal the night away.
She spooked every child's dreams with her ragged wings and bright eyes.
There was a tooth under the pillow, but she would take out another one.
screams and cries that can't be heard,
The scary things happen at night.
A bright silver coin stained with blood,
Being left in the dark and without any light.
Even though parents left, kids knew about the scary things that happened in the night.
Because the dark Tooth Fairy looks for her thrill in the shadows, where it is cold and still.

2023 The Year of Women and Fridging
2023 was an incredible year for women in film. Between Beyonce and Taylor’s concert movies, Barbie and 1 single woman getting nominated for best director at the Oscars there was a lot to celebrate. But just like with anything the universe seeks balance and in 2023 we nerds also experienced something on page and screen that we should have evolved out of decades ago. In the year of Barbie we had not 1, but 2 incidents of fridging in the comic book universe. Both came from Marvel and both are inexcusable. I would love to celebrate how far representation in this field has come, really I would. But I can not do that if we are still making the same mistakes. I am not going to celebrate that there is now less sexual assault in comics. I am not going to celebrate that fridging is less common. I am not going to celebrate that women are infantilized less often in comics. I will not celebrate less. Not in 2024 when every grown person on the planet should know better. I will not be celebrating less. I will celebrate when women are ALWAYS treated like human beings, fictional or not.

ayyeeeeee so scary. The little kids won't leave their tooth for the good tooth fairy for fear this one will show up. Blood on the coin gave me chills!
Oh the beginning was terrible! A nice different poem I have read!
