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.

Jakob Sees the Moon


This is another short story I wrote inspired partially by these photos I took of the moon along with some drawings I have done in the past.



Jakob used his camera to take photos of the pale moon and observed it in curiosity. Threw the glass window he could see that this moon was a white, light grey color with darker grey splotches and craters on it. It was also kind of smaller than he had expected.

“What do you think?” His dad asked.
“It’s not blue, and its surface has craters on it, but it’s nice and unique in its own way,” Jakob replied. "And I kinda like the color." 
His dad looked at the moon and nodded in agreement. “Ready to fly back home?”
“Yeah.”
His dad powered up the engine of the spaceship.
“Dad, when do you think we’ll visit Earth?”
“Probably when you 14, son.”
As the spaceship flew away from Earth’s moon, Jakob watched the Earth, its moon, and its sun grow smaller and smaller until they were out of sight. A half-hour later, he could see his home planet again, the rainbow planet Zangar along with its blue moon Indigo. He smiled. It was good to be back. Though he looked forward to going to Earth one day, he could wait. His home was more than enough for now.
