Went to my
costuming club and much fun was had. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
Rainbow Bank
A fairy in a
suit rode the rainbow to meet the leprechaun. The leprechaun tipped
his green hat and smiled. They both stood on a cloud along with a
large black pot. Magic passed down from ancient times allowed such
sky walking.
“They say
you're bank is most secure in all existence,” the fairy said to
him.
The leprechaun
smiled, “It is, an' always has been. Mah magical pot can carry any
amount ay anythin' fur anyone. It's protected by magic an' no one has
ever caught me tae get the release spells on all mah enchantments. I
had a wizard try dimensional travel ta git into mah magical pot. It
didn't work and ta fool wound up wid his beard on his back.”
The fairy
pulled out a small wand, like a black toothpick but charged with
lethal magic. “Well then, you'll be giving me that pot and access
to it. I'm not a customer making a deposit. I'm going to making a
withdrawal. A permanent one.”
The leprechaun
rolled his eyes. “Ya really shouldn't have done that.” Dragons
emerged from the adjacent clouds. “Security git rid ay this pest.”
Long ago the leprechaun learned that just running would not protect
his pot. Security forces worked much better. After the mischievous
fairy was toasted the leprechaun started thinking about that cereal
business he ran on the side.
