The Anti-Quest
There weren’t always dragons in the valley. There weren’t always daily fires from their angry breath or scattered quakes from their earth-moving roars. There wasn’t always terror, internalized in the residents of the exterior hills, as they attempted to continue living their former, routine lives.

What we carry inside
I sat on the floor of the basement, my hands covered in the thin layer of dust that comes from looking through old photos and letters. Happily strewn across my lap were the treasures I’d found in this box: grandpa’s harmonica, amber jewelry galore, a handwritten log of winning lotto numbers from the 1970s - my grandma’s doing. She died when I was young.
