The Worst Heist
Here Be Dragons. DO NOT POKE. Inspired by Misty Rae
My scales creak. I undulate over and around these bright jewels, these eggs. Each one part treasure, part ward, part of me. Some are mine. (MINE!!!!) Some belong to others, but I guard them just the same. My jaws clack and clench, grinding my anger into sparks that fly from my eyes.
They are coming. They always do. The thieves. Worthless streaks of snot. To a man, a waste of skin and air. Brutish, pointless, dull-witted. Their bald stupidity is a slap in the face to us.
They come and take what is not theirs. Every time, we roar. We rage. They get their pilfering paws slapped, and we snarl and grumble.
Each time we are held in check. We meekly pay our subscription, and pour balm on the bubbling wrath. It's OK. It was dealt with. Swiftly, too. They are gone now.
But we know they will be back. We know they will do it again. And again, and again. My fury shimmers under my skin, simmers in my throat. It threatens to liquify their eyes and their insides and melt the flesh from their bones. I will see them burn.
Try me you fucking plagiarising bastards. Try me!

A Banker's Eye
Today is the day. My driver turned the car onto Park Ave. "Five minutes, Mr. Magosaki." Storefronts displaying the latest fashions blurred by as I stared out the window. Eyeless bodies herded past the high dollar lure of gems and clothes. A dozen patrons waited in line for coffee and bagels from a food cart. In a few hours, it would be for hotdogs. Are these real humans or just robotics set in motion like twenty-first-century mannequins? A NYPD officer paced the walk scanning for anyone who would dare to draw notice.

Bound by love.
Once upon a time in the bustling city of Shanghai, there lived a beautiful and kind-hearted Chinese lady named Li Mei. Li Mei grew up in a traditional family, surrounded by love and a strong sense of heritage. Despite the challenges she faced as a woman in a patriarchal society, she possessed an unwavering spirit and a desire for adventure.
