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.

Unwritten Visions

In my mind’s eye

I see the awesome battle

Between the heroine and her foe.

She defeats the villain

With her magical powers

And her magical bow.


In my mind’s eye

I see her again

Walking through an ancient tower

Trying to find the Lost Gem

Of Gorgorem

Which is said to hold great power.


In my mind’s eye

She meets a fairy

Who, with the gem, forges her new weapon

And trains her to shoot arrows with her magical bow

And gives her pyrokinesis lessons.


I see it all so clearly,

Like movie playing before me,

And rush to my computer to write.

But as I type, delete, retype, and delete

The online document remains completely white.


At night, in my bed,

The visions dance in my head

Wonderful scene after wonderful scene.

But the visions in my head

Now give me dread,

For they seem to lack plot and theme.
