If I ask somebody about the tooth fairy, they wouldn't believe my story. When I was young, I shared a room with my sister. As she sleeps — along with my parents in their room, I was the only one who stayed up to see if tooth fairies exists. However, instead of placing my tooth under the pillow, I left it on top of my pillow to keep an eye on it.

That night, around 3 AM, my eyes suddenly passed out for a second. A blink is all it takes to magically change my tooth into a ($2) gold coin. If I could explain in an illogical sense, it was like sleeping powder was sprinkled on top of my head, forcing my eyes to sleep just the fairy or invisible mythical being to finish their job without getting caught by mortals.

You may not believe me, but the experiment I did when I was a kid opened my eyes to believe such magic exists but in a more realistic form. I thought my eyes were playing tricks, but I felt the tooth was real beforehand — kept feeling it from time to time and sometimes re-positioned it back carefully in the centre — and the coin was real when I confirmed the results.

It was physically impossible for anybody to swap out the tooth to a coin in a matter of seconds. I would have heard the door open if my parents dared to enter my room, and only my sister was asleep — rock bottom — in her bed. Besides, there's no way somebody else was hiding under our beds or inside the closet as a creepy peep. Not only that, I was lying on my stomach with elbows on and hands resting under my chin as it happens. If I accidentally fell asleep, the blood I held pressured around the wrists and elbows will instantly flow up to my brain to jolt a reaction from the slight of slipping before my face could land in front of my pillow — with the tooth.

I was able to see everything from the night outside as my only source of natural light to keep watch. And no, it's physically impossible for anybody to invade through the window because it was closed with mosquito nets and iron bars.

Unfortunately, I didn't use any trap or mechanism to capture the fairy but was happily stunned to witness the magic alone. Even though I told everything about my experience, I didn't see the fairy themselves, only the illusionary magic that happened — but that would be a bonus if I also saw the fairy with my very own eyes.

In the end, I told people what I saw, but everyone dismissed it as my own imagination for being a kid. And ever since that night, the tooth fairy never came back for my next tooth, despite I didn't have a plan like last time. Maybe I should have kept everything a secret… Or maybe I accidentally killed my tooth fairy just for nearly exposing their existence?

Regardless, even though I lost faith and the childish beliefs I used to have as an adult, I still believe that mystery was real.
