Was it a dream?

by Wesley Durein

An enormous black and red dragon stares down at you. Its eyes blink once, twice, three times, and its neck arches to get a look from a different angle. In its eyes, you expect to see fire, but instead you see kindness. You wonder what it wants from you, but that question is answered a few seconds later, when its prehensile tail whips around to grab you gently around the waist. It places you on its back and takes off, soaring through the sky. You wake up, knowing that it had been too good to be true, and see a black and red tail slithering out of your window.
