The Time Breath is a diwata that can compress or stretch time at the key moment you are trying to communicate urgently with someone. They can stretch out the last moments of phone battery when you have an important call to make, or slow the loading of an email attachment for a looming deadline to punish insolence. Time Breaths are rarely seen, and work their mischief and magic by singing in high tones audible only to electronic circuits and dogs. If you ever meet one, you will know because they appear to be made entirely of fingernails.
This everyday daemon is documented as part of a contribution to the Hannah Festival 2014 Directory launch week.
he Cooker Klick is a fire kobold that lives primarily in kitchens and tends to the flames of gas cookers. A Klick will offer the human inhabitants of its home many years of loyal service, but must be fed scraps of pasta sauce and part-fried vegetables left out on the cookertop by way of a tribute to the household sprite. Over- or under-feeding a Klick can cause it to abandon a cooker, leaving the humans to suffer with matches. Like R2D2, a Klick is not readily understood by humans, but can speak easily with flames, kitchen robots and boilers.
