A story about a military man who died honorably in war but instead of going to heaven, was punished by becoming a tooth fairy. You see, in all his life while mentoring the young cadets and shaping them up to be fine soldiers on top of being a war hero himself, he never paid much attention to his little ones. He’s been a tooth fairy for a good old nine years now and is coming to to the end of his ten year clause before he ascends to that higher plane.
The dilemma now is that this reluctant man actually likes his job. He doesn’t even mind the tights and the sparkly wings. The joy that he gets from looking on the sleeping children’s faces and the amazement at that shiny dollar under their pillows has never compared to anything in his life.
Ah, but all good things must come to an end… or will it? I like to think that Jimbo, the ex-commando and full time tooth fairy will be able to continue delighting children all over the world as long as he likes.

Considering his very prestigious status in the army in his past life, he assists from time to time in the afterlife’s juvenile court. The ‘juveniles’ are mostly five years and younger and their punishments are usually a smack on the wrist or having to sit in the thinking corner, depending on the seriousness of the situation. He tries to go easy on them but shh, don’t tell anyone.
