Journeys is a collection of poetry and short stories by Tri-Valley Writers.

My contribution, The Very Bad Fairy ,is a short story in this collection. Jasmine takes care of her niece, Delilah, every Saturday while her sister is at work. Jasmine is amused by Delilah's imagination that she sees fairies. It becomes less amusing when Delilah blames the very bad fairy on broken items. When she finds her apron strings deliberately cut off, Jasmine has had enough. She announces that Delilah can't come to her house if the very bad fairy is along. Delilah cries and says she can't stop the very bad fairy. Heart broken, Jasmine sticks to her rule. 

After a few Saturdays without Delilah, Jasmine visits her at her child care facility to see how she is. It turns out to be disastrous, and Jasmine is flabbergasted by the idea that Delilah may have been telling the truth.
