"Faerie Tale I" by D-Singer. While I was looking for Christmas stories for this issue, I came upon this THC repost - fairies, elves - close enough, I thought. 'Twould be more appropriate for St. Patrick's Day, but a delightful story this is. The lass who narrates the story has returned from America to Ireland, where she goes skinny dipping in a bucolic wilderness stream and is accosted by a brawny lad who mistakes her for a water nymph. Well, to meet a nymph is good luck, but to have intercourse with one means death; but the young man figures, "What a way to go!" They don't actually SLEEP together, so I suppose the guy lived happily ever after.
