Today’s challenge is deceptively simple.<\/p>\n
Your story must include a dragon.<\/p>\n
OKAY THERE YOU GO BYE<\/p>\n
wait hold on don’t leave.<\/p>\n
There’s more<\/i>.<\/p>\n
You might be saying, “But I don’t want to write fantasy.”<\/p>\n
Okay, so what does a dragon in science-fiction look like?<\/p>\n
And I’d encourage you to think outside the scaled, fire-charred box. Who said the dragon has to be a literal dragon? What about a serial killer called the Dragon? An MMA fighter or wrestler? The name of a boat or spacecraft? The name of a disease? In fact, I’d encourage you to think beyond the literal here as much as you can. Get creative.<\/p>\n
How do you include a dragon that isn’t really a dragon?<\/p>\n
You have, mmm, let’s say 2000 words.<\/p>\n
Due by Friday, April 8th, noon EST.<\/p>\n
