and its surrounding neighbors. Soon A to Z Flashes of Foxwick will be

Dragon’s Domicile
Bones littered the cave’s floor. Smoke
trailed from the dragon’s nostrils and collected among the stalactites.
Crunch,
crunch.
The dragon munched lazily upon a femur.
Its tail swatted back and forth, sweeping the debris against the stone walls.
Bats fluttered and escaped from its home. If the dragon hadn’t had a full
belly, it would’ve snapped at the flying creatures. A metallic clang echoed in
the cave. The dragon paused its chewing and listened.
Did the king send more men to die at its
sharp claws and even sharper bite?
No, it’d knocked a knight’s helmet
farther into the cave. For now, the dragon would feast and wait.
Now if you want to learn more about
authors, I’m featuring up to three per day on my blog Surrounded by Books
Reviews. To find the

I love the POV of the dragon. I want to know, why are they trying to kill the dragon?
You had me at dragon. Love it!
The munching lazily on a femur part is both awesome and disturbing :D Great job!!
Dragons are cool! I'm wondering why the king would keep sending men if they dragon keeps munching them. Is he hoping someone will manage to slay the dragon?
Dont kill the Dragon. I will have him as a pet:)
Im loving this

Great private moment with a dragon.
Interesting to the a Dragon and his thoughts, very creative.
I'm rooting for the dragon...although that fantastic imagery was a little disturbing. LOL.
Happy Hump Day!

Great description--the phrase about it munching a femur certainly conjured up images!
Wonderful imagery with the bats and the snapping and the femur. Now I want to know what's coming.
Eat humans when they get in the way! hehe, Nice.
Ha. Suck it, knights!
Dragons are such interesting creatures.
What fantastic prose. Love those opening lines.
Love it! This is why you know for a fact that dragons never existed - if they did, they'd be top of the food chain permanently.
