A holiday fairy tale by Matthew Hays
Illustrations by Jordi Santo
Robert’s shame was excruciating. He couldn’t believe it had happened, again. Here he was, being guided by two guards to a security offi ce stuck in the nether regions of the Sunshine Mall. Down a long hallway he arrived at the clean and sterile security offi ce where inside the head of security, a pleasant-enough woman, spoke coolly and calmly about Robert’s situation. “We cherish our customers,” she began. “And we appreciate that you buy things in our shops and, well, I can see that you have been shopping here earlier today…” She paused uncomfortably as she motioned down to Robert’s haul — a Le Chateau bag and a smaller obnoxiously chipper sack from the Candy Corner. “But some parents complained when they noticed you were spending so much time at Santa’s Workshop. You must realize that if any of our customers feel their children are being watched — well, you can understand how that’s a problem for us.” She paused again, this time appearing to want Robert to say something, but he remained silent. “Look, I don’t necessarily think you were out to do anything untoward, but when a grown man spends so much time hanging around Santa’s Workshop, people tend to think there’s something wrong. I’m sorry, but we’re going to have to ask you to refrain from hanging around Santa’s Workshop. And frankly we’d prefer it if you found another mall to shop in.”
