The Midnight Mushroom Hunt

Parish strides out of the woods, proud of himself for having faced his fears of the spooky forest. Even in ths tiny form, he could still be brave, as evidenced by his confrontation with the Jeckerynne. He smiles as he remembers how he felt when Gertrude called him a hero. Yes, heroes come in all shapes and sizes.

He looks to the little mushroom child who has taken a perch on his shoulder. There's a perfect spot in the pantry for the child to live until they grow big enough to venture out on their own again.

In the meantime, he begins to daydream about all of the tasty recipes he will make with the other mushrooms filling his bag.
