Modern Phantastes: A Faerie Romance
You shall find the way into Fairy Land tomorrow. Now look into my eyes.
On his twenty-first birthday, Sylvan, orphaned for years and caretaker for his grandmother and sister, couldn’t resist the strange woman’s lure. Despite his familial duty, he looked into her eyes. Within the strange sea-blue depths, what he saw could never been unseen. She cursed him or cast a spell; whichever the case, her eyes instilled a desire deep in his heart to see her Fairy Land.
Tomorrow, she’d promised.
Would she fly him to the stars like Tink to find adventures the likes of what Peter found in Neverland? Would he lead the Lost Boys? Could he? He’d give all he had to leave his duties for a promise of thrill and magic? But what of his sister, his grandmother, his house, college, his future…? The thoughts dried up his well of hope. No, he’d more likely become the clock-obsessed Captain Hook. But still…
Tomorrow.
