Protector or enemy - which way is it this time?
Dragons have been both ways, in story and rhyme.
Some can breathe fire, with teeth like a knife.
Many have fought them, and most lose their life.
*
With thick, scaly skin and a mastery of flight,
It's a wonder that even the valiant will fight.
Some dragons are passive and live on their own.
If they're hoarding treasure, best leave them alone.
*
Some have been guardians, with humans as friends.
Such an alliance has strong dividends.
No matter what you think of them, dragons fascinate.
In story or poem, dragon tales await.

BARE HUNTER
CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.
