Hello fellow bloggers
I'm creating another writing challenge: I'll start, you continue with a sentence or paragraph in the comments. Only one rule. It has to be positive. It can be mysterious or whatever direction you choose, but it has to be positive.
You continue were the last person left off until there is a short short story. No reason, just fun what type of story can come together as a collaborative project. Continue the story and comment as often as you wish, even after I post something else until the story is finished.
I am limiting the genres: no romance, nothing rude or vulgar, no horror. Fantasy, scifi, mystery, humor is fine.
Michael was gardening and digging holes for the fruit trees he was about to plant. As he dug deeper he discovered an iridescent oval shape. He removed it and showed it to his wife Linda who was pruning shrubs. "What is this?" he asked. "Looks like a dragon's egg" she replied.
"Surely not," said Michael. "Dragons have been extinct for quite some time." "But we don't know how long any eggs would survive," said Linda. "We should make a nest in a box and keep it warm."
ReplyDeleteCodex: "I think they need to be baked to hatch". I'll put it in the oven and see what happens," said Michael. They discussed it at length based on what they could remember. Linda drove to the butcher shop and bought a selection of raw meat.
ReplyDeleteThey prepared a nest with blankets. Laid the baked egg inside and waited. After a week, it hatched. It was a dragon. Linda brought a selection of meat and laid it in front of it. The dragon looked at it, then at both of them. It stretched it's little wings for the first time. In a clear and distinct voice it said:" Good day, Linda and Michael. Do you have any fruit?"
Linda; how do you know our names? we only just met! And yes we do have fruit, a few apples and a banana, maybe some grapes left in the fridge, what would you prefer?"
ReplyDeleteDragon; "A little of each would be lovely, and then perhaps a little sunshine to properly stretch my wings? They will grow quite large soon."
Awestruck, Michael rushed to bring the fruit on a shallow platter.
