Part 10: She Wanted Different

March 7, 2020 ~ F. A. Eid ~ Leave a comment

When she awoke, she felt broken. There was no door, and the jump from the window didn't look any more appealing, nor did the dragon look more comforting. Things were as they always were. Except worse. Because she knew different now. She knew what was out there, and what she was missing. How could she … Continue reading Part 10: She Wanted Different

Part 9: An Attempt

March 6, 2020 ~ F. A. Eid ~ Leave a comment

The week was up, and still the boy didn't return. Worry became the girl's constant state. Where was he? Why hadn't he returned? Was he truly angry with her? Or was something else keeping him away? Well, nothing had kept him away before. So that last worry was quickly debunked. No, there could only be … Continue reading Part 9: An Attempt

Part 8: A Dream Unravelled

February 27, 2020March 2, 2020 ~ F. A. Eid ~ 5 Comments

The boy wanted nothing more than to return to the tower. He missed the girl and her dragon terribly, and nothing in his dull village ever compared to the magic of his new favourite place. But he couldn't return. Not right away. The girl had gone too far. All he did was try to suggest … Continue reading Part 8: A Dream Unravelled

Part 7: Regret was a Tangible Thing

February 26, 2020February 26, 2020 ~ F. A. Eid ~ Leave a comment

The boy didn't return the next day. Nor the day after that. The girl woke up every morning, hoping he'd change his mind and would return sooner than a week. But every morning, she was disappointed. And every morning, her regret weighed more heavily than the night before. She'd finally made a friend, but she'd … Continue reading Part 7: Regret was a Tangible Thing

Part 6: A Dream Realised

February 25, 2020February 26, 2020 ~ F. A. Eid ~ Leave a comment

The girl never thought it would happen - her forever dream coming true. But it did. She made a friend. And then she was happy just to see him from afar, and speak with him as she'd never done with any human before. She was not ungrateful enough to keep wishing. But when he touched … Continue reading Part 6: A Dream Realised

Part 5: A Half-Formed Thing

February 24, 2020February 24, 2020 ~ F. A. Eid ~ Leave a comment

The boy's plan was as simple as it was foolish, which was to say: very. "The dragon can pluck you out of the window with its tail!" he'd exclaimed. The girl had only rolled her eyes. As though she hadn't asked the dragon if it could fly her far away before. Besides, that wasn't the … Continue reading Part 5: A Half-Formed Thing

Part 4: Blurred Days

February 21, 2020February 22, 2020 ~ F. A. Eid ~ Leave a comment

Every day of that week, the boy journeyed to the tower. The first few times, he felt a little lost, that the feeling in his belly was leading him astray. But he always ended up at the tower, smiling up at the girl. And, as the days passed, he found he could find the tower … Continue reading Part 4: Blurred Days

Part 3: And So They Met

February 19, 2020February 24, 2020 ~ F. A. Eid ~ Leave a comment

Neither the girl, nor the boy could quite believe what they were seeing. The former thought she must still be dreaming, and that if she even dared to blink, she'd awake in her bed, to the same sounds she was accustomed to hearing. The latter was trying to understand the situation he was currently in, … Continue reading Part 3: And So They Met

Part 2: The Boy

February 17, 2020February 18, 2020 ~ F. A. Eid ~ Leave a comment

In that same far away land, long ago, there lived a boy with his mother. His father had died many moons before but left his mother and him a sum of money large enough to keep them comfortable. And, with the money his mother made from her art pieces beloved all over the village, the … Continue reading Part 2: The Boy

Part 1: The Girl

February 15, 2020February 18, 2020 ~ F. A. Eid ~ 3 Comments

Long ago, in a far away land, there lived a girl all alone in a tower, surrounded by a lush forest. At the base of the tower, a dragon was stationed, and every morning the girl would look out her window and hear the snores and see the curling tendrils of smoke rising from the … Continue reading Part 1: The Girl
