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.

I Should Have Stayed Home

I should have stayed home.

It would have been better.

Than getting mud splattered

On my brand new sweater.


I should have stayed home

So that I could avoid

The neighbor who talks too much

And makes me annoyed.


I should have stayed home

Instead of going to the park

To be chased by a dog

Who loved to bark.


I should have stayed home

To avoid shouting at the man

Who let his dog off its leash

Despite the park’s dog ban.


I should have stayed home

Instead of going to get coffee

From the local coffee shop

Only for the coffee to disappoint me.


I should have stayed home

Instead of going to the store

Only for an idiot to start a fire

So that I couldn’t get what I came for.


Well, I am home now

And in this home I will stay.

I intend to sit back and relax

After this very stressful day.
