Pen and Ink

Pen Swan is fading gently into her forties when a kiss from a pixie mechanic alerts her to certain needs. Peck Grene is already taken, so Pen wishes for someone to love her and to share her bed. The someone that appears is a cat.

Or is it two cats, three or even four? Has there been some mistake, or are the fairies sending a message? Something like this, perhaps. "Dear Mrs Swan, no fairy finds it convenient to share your bed in the carnal sense. However, here is a consolation prize; the first step in your future as a crazy cat lady. Look after it well."

Grumpily, Pen gives up on the whole affair, but the fairies haven't finished with her yet.
