The Fairy Tree
By Judith Cullen
(C) 2015
“What did I
say about “foostering” on the internet?”
Liam started,
practically falling from his chair. Rose
McLane, was standing over him in the cool spring air that wafted through the
office of his grandmother’s farm in County
Wicklow
There was
precious little space for him to do this in the farmhouse. His dad’s office, where there was wireless
internet in the house, was a “by invitation only” room. Grans and his Mom
always seemed to have one project or another in progress, or about to be, on
the kitchen table. The dining room table
was completely out of the question, and when he tried to work from his small
bedroom he could not get a reliable signal.
He’d tried using his iPhone like a router, but something wasn’t working
right. Liam got frustrated in a hurry, and he stayed that way.
So the farm
office was really the only place where Liam could get any work done. The first year they had lived in Ireland , Liam
had gone to an online school, so this was a familiar drill for him. Thankfully, he was attending a local academy
now! He couldn’t imagine spending all
day in the office with Rose the way he had back then.
“I’m not
foostering!” he said defensively, “Is that even a real word?”
