The shopping mall
elves are an
endangered species of modern
elves. As
the great malls fade away into
strip malls and giant corporate complexes
such as the
Metreon, the poor shopping mall elves are loosing their
un
natural habitat.
These elves thrive in the fountains and trees planted within the indoor
confines of large shopping malls. They thrive on collecting the coins
thrown into the bottom of the pools and play after the stores have closed.
There are several varieties of the fair folk that live within the shopping
malls. Listed below is a brief sample.
For a novel about where Elfland meets the shopping mall, I highly recommend Mall Purchase Night by Rick Cook.
None of the above fair folk are borrowed from this book. All are original
constructs of the over-active imagination (I hope) of the noder.
