Alexandria: Bone Boy

There was once a woman named Alexandria Virginia, who vaguely remembered a blue-haired faerie woman named Elsie visited her when she was young. She would tell her husband, Frank Virginia, about those wonderfully strange childhood memories of speaking to the tiny rainbow-colored fluttering creature, memories that felt hazy and pastel-toned, yet warm to the heart all the same.

Frank told her that it sounded like a nice story and that he was sorry that they could never experience stuff like that as adults again. He spoke as though he didn’t believe that she really spoke to a faerie, that it was something she imagined. Of course, Alexandria would have had to imagine it, but still…

She couldn’t stop the little flickering feeling inside of her that told her there had to be something that happened when she was younger, something that she wasn’t getting properly. There was yet another feeling Alexandria had that the house she and Frank lived in held something deep and old, something that watched them passively and tried to be as happy as it could, something that was a someone. It was in how the house creaked as though there were other footsteps, how a boy’s voice seemed to speak mournfully, how the air seemed to twinkle with the lights of faeries, and how it just felt like there was another presence with them.

But they lived in an old house and Frank didn’t seem bothered in the slightest. Alexandria wasn’t so sure herself, for old houses often wheezed in slightly human ways.

Maybe she missed the bit of magic that came from being a kid, maybe she wanted something bigger than herself to exist.

Yet still, the creaks in the house still made Alexandria wonder, just a little bit…
