This delightfully dreadful depiction of the dilapidating tooth fairy made me wonder - what happens to the creatures and characters of lore when people no longer believe?
The lack of belief is killing her, but that comes from the child growing out of it. The teeth are the last connections to the magic of childhood, so they sustain the fairy.
Also... did you happen to see the short-film "Dust" starring Alan Rickman? Love the fact that you called the father Alan and that it is about a tooth fairy who has a slight problem.
Aww, I kind of feel bad for hating the tooth fairy growing up😂
Seems you did the right thing.

I imagine it’s not good.
So, John. If belief is what keeps her alive, does the tooth actually feed her, or is the child’s belief that does it? I have to know.

Nyxley telling herself 'no, no' before going back in anyway is the moment that made this click. Enjoyed it.
Thank you. With that moment, I wanted to give a little glimpse into the goodness within.
Loved it! Right up my alley.

I did not see that one. I love Rickman, so I’ll go looking for it.
And here I was feeling all sorry for the neglected tooth fairy....
Wow I love this story! The ending is particularly horrifying! Really good flash fiction piece.
Thank you.
I love a macabre fairy story. Great visual too.
Thank you
Tooth-eating tooth fairy. Yeah I can see that.
Oh, wow... I never thought of the tooth fairy EATING teeth. Oh, damn. Burned into my brain now!
That is such a „Neverending-Story-esque“ story! 😂 Loved it! 🥰👍🏻
Thank you!!
Where's the animated tooth fairy from?
I created the image in Midjourney, animated it, and then took it into EZ gif creator to get the final piece.
