It was so peaceful. I was in a log cabin in the forest when it happened. I'd gone there to try and finish my book, getting away from the noise of the city.
My typewriter sat in front of me, on the one lonely desk. I'd bought it on ebay, I thought it somehow *better* to write on a typewriter if i'm going into the forest to "commune with nature". I miss my laptop. I miss the internet. I miss having more than a bed and a desk.
It was so quiet, not even the whine of a fan. I sat and closed my eyes and just listened for a moment.
There was a tiny high pitch noise. It was very faint, I looked around to see where it was coming from. Something tiny was moving on the desk. Looked too small to be an ant. I went to my "survival kit" and pulled out a magnifying glass. I'd thought I could use to to start fires out here. Didn't think I'd use it for much else.
Putting the glass over the tiny thing, it looked... humanoid? I could hear its sqeaking but it was still too quite to hear it properly.
I went over to my bag. I didn't bring my laptop but I brought my dictorphone at least. It had most of my notes on it so I sort of needed it. Taking out an earbud I plugged in my headphones and put the microphone near the... tiny creature thing. setting it to simultanious record and playback I turned up the volume.
"^^^and ^^I've ^been following you for three years! Three frikken years since you trod on me. You don't even deserve your wishes. Don't you ever just say 'Oh I wish such and such?' No, you don't. you don't even *think* it. Bastard."
I leaned down with the magnifying glass "Erm.. hello? you've been doing what for three years?"
"Oh you can hear me now" it was at this point I twigged that its accent, whilst high pitch, was definitly scottish. "Three years ago you were digging through your grandma's stuff in the basement godresthersoul, you stepped on my magik cup and summoned me. I've been followed you around ever since waiting to grant you wishes.
