The Squirrel and the Dragon: A Fantasy Short Story

Once upon a time, in a little cottage atop a tall tree in a little forest, there lived a little squirrel named Chestnut. Every morning, Chestnut loved to take her little basket and go on nature walks to collect little colorful flowers in the meadows. She would make bouquets and flower wreaths and sell them at the market square. But one day, when Chestnut went on a walk to collect more flowers, she found a big black hill blocking her way. The big black hill was very strange, because instead of being covered with green grass, it was covered in black scales that shimmered in the sunlight. Another strange thing about the big black hill was that it moved up and down, almost as if it were breathing. “I don’t know how this strange hill got here,” Chestnut said to herself. “But I’ll just climb over it.” Chestnut clambered up the big black hill. It was a little difficult, since it kept moving up and down, but thanks to her determination, Chestnut managed to reach the very top. “I did it!” Chest...

Let's Play

Mimikyu the kitten bounced around Mittens. “Let’s play!”

“No,” Mittens replied, daintily licking her paws.

“Come on! Just for a little while.” He pounced on her tail, which had been flicking back and forth in annoyance.

“I am not in the mood to play now.”

“Just one game, pleeease!” He pounced on Mittens and playfully bit her tail.

Mittens growled. This kitten was fine company once and a while, but other times he was just plain annoying. All he wanted to do was play. And when he didn’t want to play, he wanted to hog all the attention of Lizzy, her owner, and get pets and treats. Lizzy was her owner first, not his.

Mimikyu kept swatting her tail. Was she always this annoying when she was a kitten? She was beginning to understand why her mother wanted a break from her and her siblings for an hour or two. This was ridiculous.

Snap! Snap!  went the camera that Lizzy used as she took pictures of a dandelion.

Maybe if she could get her attention, she’d make Mimikyu leave her alone.

“Hey,” Mittens said to her. “A little intervention would be nice.”

Lizzy stopped taking pictures of the flower and turned around.

Finally, Mittens thought. She’ll make him leave me alone.

Mimikyu playfully bit Mitten’s neck.

“Aw, how cute!” Lizzy said. She raised her camera up to take a photo.

Mittens gave her a look. “Help me.”





Author’s Note
I wanted to try out writing stories based on the photos I took by looking at the photo and then trying to add some context to it. So, I wrote this story based on a photo I took of our cats a while back. It was easier to write a story based on this photo compared to some others I have taken because they are animals and are very expressive in this photo. This makes it is easier to understand or try to interpret what is happening between the two in a fun way. I hope I will be able to write stories based on some of my other photos effectively so that they are interesting.
