The Sickening
When Dad saw the dragonling on the kitchen table, he did a double-take. I didn't think people did those in real life. Took his glasses off, cleaned them, put them back on. The whole bit. Got close, drinking in every scale. His eyes, already huge behind his glasses, looked even bigger.

Fatally Unorganized. Top Story - January 2024.
I remember the day my owner, Rachel, got the bag that I’m stuck lying in. It was a Monday afternoon at the town center mall. The luxury purse store was having a deal on last season’s leftovers. There was one on display that she couldn’t leave without, and it was thirty percent off the original price of one-hundred and sixty pounds. The woman only had two-hundred bangers to her name, but it still sounded like a great idea for a wannabe like her that was debatably insane. She was always craving nice things, but her bank account was longing for a more budget friendly lifestyle.

Disgrace to Races. Content Warning.
It should be for them. I still see the blood stains. It should be for them. I can still hear shrieks. There is pain. I can taste the metallic sensation like a spoon stuck in the mouth too long. They send in rockets. They burst with the fury of ten thousand suns. That’s what it feels like, anyway. It’s because they should be feeling the sting. Death envelopes this land and creates havoc amongst the people.
