The Sure Fire way to Defeat a Dragon

Reuben faced the massive dragon in front of him, with shoulders slumped and knees shaking. “No one ever said, I would have to face a dragon. Ok, yeah they did, but they didn’t say you would be this huge! Ok, maybe they did, but I didn’t actually expect it!” He muttered fearfully, as the dragon

“AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!” James panicked as he fell to the ground. He could just baryely hear Lydia a few metres away saying something, probably trying to calm him down, but he was too far gone for that. He remembered now why he never did stuff like this, because he absolutely hated to be afraid. The field they

The plane shook as they took off. James felt sick right to his stomach, more because of guilt than motion-sickness. His conversation with Margaret still replaying in his mind over and over again. They had bumped into each other while waiting for their planes. James groaned as his mind went through it again. “Oh, sorry.”

The next couple weeks moved quickly, and James wasn’t sure how to respond to the passing of time. He had gone for many walks, and Lydia had often joined him. They started talking, and the aching he felt constantly seemed numbed. She was always lighthearted and kind, and James was swept up in Lydia’s expertise

`. “You do this again, Eric, and I am sending you to live with mom and dad,” James said with more than a little bit of frustration. Eric had once again returned with no explanation and a really bad mood. Eric grabbed an apple from the fridge and stomped to the dining table to eat

The prison walls dripped with moisture; rats and mice scattered across the floor as Eric shooed them away. Resting his head on his knees, a sob escaped his hoarse voice. His cell-mate, a creepy creature named Chloe Bun-Bun, called to him from the other corner. “Why are you crying now?” Its voice was nasally and

Lydia pursed her lips, this was very unexpected. Eric stood in front of them grinning crazily like this was the best day of his life. What would be the best reaction in this situation? Her mind raced a hundred miles an hour trying to solve the issue and figure out how to get to James.

Eric’s watermelon phone case glinted in the sun as he stared at it. He blinked his eyes, that were burning from the light, rocking toward his phone and away from it. Biting his nails, he picked it up. The reflection of his face bounced back at him and he threw it on the bed again.

“I just have to chill out. I mean, it isn’t that weird right? Oh gosh, it’s weird isn’t it?” James whine “Dude you are really freaking me out.” Eric sat across from James while trying to eat his waffles. James’ hair was dishevelled and he was starting to grow a beard, he sighed and his

Sweat dripped down James’ neck. Store-Clerk stood a few metres away, in his apron and cap, staring bored into the distance. “We need to talk,” he reiterated. James really just wanted to leave. Not that he didn’t want revenge for the bologna thing, but he didn’t want to be stuck in a tent alone with

Margaret was lounging at home, completely immersed in jungle noises (Which she hated) and incense smells (Which she also hated). She sighed unhappily, the internet had said this was the best way to relax; yet her shoulders were still tensed and her heart beating at a hundred miles per hour. She couldn’t get the image

Things were getting too weird for James. Way, way too weird. Eric had been missing for four days, the police had been involved and the whole community had been searching for him. Then, on the fourth day, he just waltzed back into the house as if nothing had happened. And, to make matters worse, ever

“I’m leaving,” Eric had his jacket on and was walking out the door when he called back to James. “I’m not your mother Eric, you don’t need to update me on everything you do.” James yawned. “Why are you leaving this early in the morning anyway?” “I am in the mood for a walk.” “Ok,

A figure stalks through the night. It is the 22nd hour of the day, and not a sound except the tap of shoes can be heard. The sky is pitch-black, a new moon, and the lanterns eerily line the streets, humming with energy. The hooded personage comes to the end of a culdesac, resting in
