gender-nightvale:

The tooth fairy leaves a coin under your pillow.

Grievers leave two coins on your eyes when you die.

These events are not unrelated.

She leaves a coin and takes a bone because she is your first reminder of your mortality.

She takes the first bones your body will lose and in exchange she gives you your first coins.

Like a child you lose them, or spend them - but they will return to you….

…in time.

Your body changes… ages… and your teeth -the only bones to have seen the world-

- taste it -

are your first reminder.

Childhood ends.

No matter how long you are a child.

Be the mad scientist who sees potential in every rotten thing.

Be the scientist who screams ITS ALIVE! when you look in the mirror.

Be your OWN spark for resurrecting your mangled corpse of a life.
