Got a Light?

Quintus just needed to melt the ice to get a drink. He felt in his pockets for a dragon.

He pulled out a pygmy griffon that yawned and curled up in his palm. He swore he had a dragon. Maybe in his other jacket. Even a chimera would do.

A shadow fell over him. “Need help?” a huge green dragon said. It shot a burst of flame at the bucket, incinerating it and evaporating the ice in a puff of steam.

“You’re welcome,” the dragon rumbled and stalked away. Quintus felt his pockets again. Now he needed a water dragon.

    Great idea, a pocket dragon to warm our souls. Pity about the over enthusiastic fire dragon, that was no help.

    Jennifer’s photo has inspired me to make pancakes. 🙂

    Dang it! Always too little or too much, eh? Hopefully, a water dragon will be less, shal we say, aggressive?
    Fun take, David.

    Cute story and cute AI dragon. I’d love to have one that would sleep in the palm of my hand.

  10. Dear David,

    Quintus lives a complicated life, doesn’t he? I’d love to have a cute little griffon like that. 😉 Fun story. Happy homecoming and unpacking.

    Shalom,

    Pygmy Puff tattoo:
    Tiny puff of pink
    Nestled on my cheeky skin
    Whispers of mischief
    Inked upon a canvas rare
    Joyful charm forever there
