b'In Emilia\'s Rainbow, by Michael Rhys, a little girl learns how to find rainbows. While she wishes to see unicorns at the first rainbow she spots, the leprechaun she finds is every bit as magical. But what will she have to do to get his gold?

Michael Rhys is a Tokyo-based voice actor and writer of short tales. Originally from Esssex, in the UK, he is a 33-year resident of Japan. He lives in the deeply historical Jindaiji motomachi region area of Chofu, a few minutes from the ancient Jindaiji temple and under the shadow of the ghost of Jindaiji Castle. This area is filled with Yokai and ghosts of many eras. The weight of history can be felt here, which he suspects is why he feels at home, there. Oh, and his house is opposite a graveyard; no surprise there. Find more work by Rhys at http://www.rhys.exposed.
