Nerderine Subscription Story

(February 28, 2025)

“Neeeeeeerd!”

Nerderine looked around, not sure if they should expect someone to be mocking them (not that it would work) or just calling for them, but the street was empty.

“Neeeeeeerd!”

They stopped and looked around again. The voice was definitely there, clear as day. There wasn’t even any wind to make them think they were hearing things.

“Up here!”

Nerderine looked up into the maple tree beside them, and their thoughts fizzled. Sitting on the branch, with a tiny wooden face and shiny little wings, was a… person? No. Way too small to be a person. Some kind of… pixie?

“Um, hello?

“Hi! I’m here to save your life.”
