Draw the sword from the stone

Idolise Huckleberry, Mowgli, and Phileas

Sail on the Pequod with Ahab

Take a trip on the Antelope

Root for Winston's struggles against Big Brother

Amble through the Shire

Canter through the meadows with Ginger and Merrylegs

Try on a fur coat and push through the wardrobe

Introduce the monster to his maker and watch what happens

Ogle the treasure map over Jim's shoulder

Navigate your way home for pesky distractions like dinner, bath and bedtime

Thank you for reading! Still full of cold, but will do my best to reciprocate reads!

If you are interested in the story behind the story: I wrote this in my dressing gown for the Distractions challenge, between snatches of orange juice and wishing I could rip out my own sinuses. I hope you enjoyed it 😁

If fiction is more your thing, here's a recent fantasy/horror and a dystopian/spoof - let me know what you think 😁
