Current sketches for this week's CHOW.
“Take one of the characters of our modern world, (could be a soldier, an office worker, a plumber, etc.) and turn them into something that feels like it might belong in a fairy tale, a mythos or a fantasy novel.”
I made a little story.
The Fairy Doctor (Pest control/Exterminator)
Back in the old country, the Silashian villagers would appoint a 'fairy doctor', whose sordid task was the extermination of fairy nests. It was an arduous, and dangerous task. The main reason for the necessity of the position, was the very real threat of fairy mischief. But, the most alarming issue of all, had been the fairy changelings.
The Gruff couple learned quite quickly, when their two month old daughter started exhibiting the signs. Flashing silver eyes, pale, blueish skin. A peal of laughter so eerie that it sends shivers down their spines, and into their dreams. Their baby had been stolen away, and replaced with a fairy changeling. If not properly... Tended to, the fairy changeling would eventually steal the hearts of the villagers, and eat them in her soup.
Such incidents proved to be enough that a fairy doctor had been realized. To become a fairy doctor proved to be quite easy. It was the apothecary that was naturally chosen. They then would don protective clothing, and a mask, to ensure that they don't intake any 'fairy dust', which is poisonous to humans, causing vigorous dancing.
But, the worst part of being a fairy doctor, is the task of spraying the fairies with the fairicide. As they would die, they sounded like the shrieking of infant children.
