Dragon's Domicile #atozchallenge

 

For the A to Z Challenge, I'm having twenty-six flash fiction pieces from my Foxwick Kingdom and its surrounding neighbors. Soon A to Z Flashes of Foxwick will be available in e-book format. You can add this to your Goodreads list here.

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 other participants, click here.

I love the POV of the dragon. I want to know, why are they trying to kill the dragon?

The munching lazily on a femur part is both awesome and disturbing :D Great job!!

Unknown said...

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?

I'm rooting for the dragon...although that fantastic imagery was a little disturbing. LOL.

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.

Dragons are such interesting creatures.

Ciara said...

What fantastic prose. Love those opening lines.

Unknown said...

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.
