The Ally
"You can't let Dad take him, Mum. He'll die!" "You nearly died!" The bones of my hand protruded from where it should've connected to my wrist. Flesh scalded and chunks missing where the dragonling had feasted on it. Hardly any blood at all, though.

The Handicap
It was a burning sensation on my ear that roused me before I could suffocate, or be swallowed by flames. The blurry sliver revealed by my eyelids was obscured by the smoke-sting at first. I blinked, squinted, rubbed my eyes with my one good arm.

The Bedroom Monster
Night comes. I try to sleep. But I'm scared. I know it's in the room with me. I can hear it. Moving. Making noises. To frighten me.

The Mother
Why doesn't she flame? Why doesn't she take back her baby and burn me to a crisp, and the whole forest with me? Her enormous black snout inched through the circle, from her world to ours. Her long neck snaked behind it. The obsidian bulk of her beyond that blocked any view I might have had of the world where dragons live.

Under a Summer Sky. Content Warning.
He always struck me as a man not to cross. I've never seen him fight, never heard him raise his voice. He has this way about him. A quiet confidence, cloaking an iron will.

Pet Therapy
A soft ticking underscored the carpeted quiet in the panelled waiting room. The severely dressed and softly spoken woman at the reception desk looked up at me and smiled.

A Horse Called Story
A horse, a fleeting flighty thought, wary, ready to Bolt, buck. Be ready. He's Champing, tail swishing, all that potential under the skin

The Flea
Look at me: bedridden, legs all smashed up, in plaster. The wheelchair in the corner wags a finger it doesn't have for the hubris I had in spades. I flew so high, like Icarus, only to come back down to earth with an crash.
