The candy store was the best place to find fairies.
Oh, none of the adults realized the fairies were there, or that the candy was actually fairy food.
But the children knew there was something off about the owners and employees of the candy shop from the moment they stepped inside.
That unsettling feeling that tickled at each child's instinct to flee and never return was offset by their parents apparent ease, the presence of tasty treats along every wall, and the fact that everyone knew fairies didn't really exist.
And so the children ignored their unease, found that special candy they loved, and left the store with the taste of a newly-seeded obsession on their lips.
