Clap your hands if you believe in death.
Believing in fairies is much easier, I think. Death is an end, an emptiness, a darkness. People want to believe in the light. Go to the light, they say. We fear the darkness and the unknown, the fairies in the ravine, the world behind the mirror.

Came across this fun short story/ebook today (https://www.tor.com/2012/05/09/about-fairies/) - a typical dotcom story about starting a new job in an environment without clear definitions and roles, where everyone can build their own version of reality. It's overlaid with the narrator's experience with her aging/dying parent and his own transition. And cats who protect her. Nicely told and sensitive.

Read via the Worlds Seen in Passing anthology.
Toy designers create little virtual fairy worlds, but what happens when one of the designers thinks she’s found real fairies? Weird, a little eerie, and overall carrying a surprising level of bleakness, something about this fascinated me endlessly.
