The Baby
I didn't see the dragonling at first, tiny as he was, and camouflaged to look leaf-like. A young branch curled up away from its trunk, and around into a circle. The forest viewed through it looked strange, like it was a badly-focused camera lens. I was puzzling at that when the "leaf" moved and I saw him. Clinging to that curved twig: there's his tail, his spine, his head cocked and looking right at me.

Finding her
There we sat on the couch, knowing we were watching history unfold. I don’t mean good history either, like landing on the moon. This was bad, like waking up to find out covid shut everything down. As the news anchor talked, I sat there with my best friend Ryan on his worn-out brown leather couch. The top of the screen reads: A new race has been detected on Earth. When this was on social media, it was one of those things that felt like it would just randomly disappear once people got bored.
