Tall Tales
“The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window.” The boy leaned closer to the campfire, the reflection of the orange flames twinkling in his eyes. “We had been out of school for only a couple weeks, and it was staying light out for like, forever.”

Soft as Ripe Fruit
There weren’t always dragons in the valley. Not on your world. Not until I landed there. When I soared down the first time, wings still sizzling from my entrance through the atmosphere, still glistening in golden radiance from the solar winds that powered my flight through the stars, I was drowsy. I found the valley empty, save the cool river that splashed down from the mountain to the north. Small ancestors of the fish you eat now wove merrily through the rapids. Dragonflies the size of your huts wisped about my torso, enthralled by the dizzying metallic glean of my scales. I smiled at the simple comforts of a world so primitive, of a valley so peaceful.
