If You Are Harboring a Fugitive

Police’s loudspeaker projected all over the neighborhood.
“IF YOU ARE HARBORING A FUGITIVE, TURN 
HIM IN RIGHT AWAY! THERE WILL BE NO
PUNISHMENT IF THE PERPETRATOR COMES 
OUT IN THE NEXT HOUR!”

“Do you think they mean me?” my guest asked.
“Doubtful,” I told her. “You are invisible to
non-believers, right?”

Stegosaurus Faerie breathed a sigh of relief.

Heehee! It's a good thing they can't see Trixie's whole menagerie of magical fantasy creatures... or you'd have all kinds of trouble! ;)
