The Legend of the Snot Fairy

You know, my friends, that in certain lands there are strange phenomena that occur. Things so strange and wonderful as to baffle the minds of those whose own environment does not support such happenings. Certainly I can think of many examples. For instance in today's Slog there is a story about a delicacy called the Frito Pie of which only beings from certain corners of this globe have heard, not to mention dined on.

Today however, I want to share with you something far more mysterious and magical. Something known only to Seattle, perhaps only known in detail within my own apartment.

The Snot Fairy.

Yes, the Snot Fairy, a distant cousin of a fairy known as the Tooth, but with a much less desirable duty.

The Snot Fairy visits those who during times of sickness collect their mucus is tiny jars and hide it under their pillows at night. It has long been thought that the proper thing to do with mucus is to collect it into soft tissues and handkerchiefs. I can now share with certainty that the Snot Fairy will only enjoy it if it's in small glass jars.

I guess, really, I can't share a 'legend' so to speak since I only caught a glimpse of said Snot Fairy while he was soaring out my window on what can be described as a rocket. I gave chase and yelled out some basic questions, but it seems that merely sharing a space with this Fairy brings on wild sneezing in a human.

I tried to draw an accurate depiction of the Snot Fairy as it flew out my kitchen window with a jar of my snot.
