I wrote a fantasy short story for a contest on Vocal.

The task: “A dragon finds a toddler in the forest. Write what happens next.”

It’s a 13-minute read — check it out here!

Fun fact: The contest was open for a month but I found out about it on the last day, when I was home sick with COVID. I sat down, spent six hours churning out a story, and submitted a minute before the deadline. Whether or not I win ($$ and a Zoom call with the fantasy writing legend, Christopher Paolini) it was a fun writing exercise.

(Update: Didn’t win. Still a fun exercise!)
