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.

You Gave Me Lies


You gave me lies as a present

Tied with a fancy bow

Hoping I would like them,

Hoping I wouldn’t know.


You gave me more lies

When I made the truth plain.

You said, “You’re mistaken,

Now let me explain.”


You gave me excuses

You gave me a hard time

When I threw your gift away.

You said, “You’re overreacting.

Just calm down, okay?”


You gave me crocodile tears

When I headed out the door.

You said, “It was a mistake!

What are you being mean for?!”


You gave me lies as a present

Tied with a fancy bow.

I don’t put up with anyone’s nonsense;

You of all people should know.
