More Dragon Diaries, An Experiment In Microfiction

Here’s another round of Dragon Diaries. For an explanation of how this got started, the original Dragon Diaries SFN post is here. To find out where it goes, you can watch the experiment continue on twitter and facebook for however long it  continues.

Tried cat’s suggestion about flying with my mind. What’s the sound of one mind flapping? It’s “Aieeee—thud.” Stupid cat.

Five-hundred-and-twen-spar

kly. Argh! OK, that’s it, going to ated the stupid cat… And…sigh, nope. Still tastes like friend. Sorry cat.

Tasted cat again this morning. Same result as last two time. Couldn’t ated something that tastes like friend. Off to find Baron now. Cat says they’re like knights, but with more marbling. Have high hopes.

Found Baron hiding in castle smokehouse and ated him. Now know Cat was right, Baron good. Also now know bacon better! Bacon!

Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Cat said: Bacon, baron, tomayto, tomahto. I replied: Screw the tomatoes and the lettuce! Bacon! Bacon! Bacon!

Stoking up my tummy with shiny black rocks and mesquite chips for experiment in smoking fresh caught barons. Hard not to ated them now!

Minuses: Owe cat apology-fishes for near perforation. Ambushed by sheriff and troop of archers today. Pluses: Tasty tasty archers.

Saw horse with horn on face, tried to ated it. Now covered in sticky rainbow and cat laughing at me. Stupid cat. Stupid pointy-face horse.

And for the Unicorn’s point of view: Went out for my morning glitter to make the flowers blossom and the sun shine just right. But a big mean dragon attacked me. So I farted a rainbow in his face and escaped. Stupid dragon.
Stupid dragon! Had to glitter twice as hard to open all the flowers from yesterday too. Off to beautician for kornacure and a hoof-peel now. Think I’ll try that new pink polish. Love the way the old horn looks in pink.

Saw pointy-face horse again. Cat suggested hunt to learn habit first, ated later. Followed to beauty shop. Took next chair. Now have pink claws, argh! Pink. Claws. !?! Stupid beauty shop. Stupid pointy face horse. Stupid cat.

Paid extra to have permanent epoxy mixed into nail polish they put on stupid dragon. Hee! Off to bestow my glorious presence on life.

Had to burn nail-polish off with fire-breath. Ignoring pointy-face horse in future, no matter how very very tasty it looks. Really!
Ate a big meal of sugar and spice and everything nice. She was delicious. Then made some more rainbows. (Seriously, what did you think that whole maiden thing was about?)
Coldwetmiserable out. Wanted to sleep in but too hungry. Tasted cat again. Still tastes like friend. Also just not enough there to bother ateding. Agreed to go get fishes. Wet anyway plus felt guilty.

Saw pointy-face horse again. Still looked delicious, but I promised cat to ignore it. Found knight instead. Ated him, but only for horse. Do I have a problem?

Bumped into pointy-face horse while casually lurking in forest near beauty shop. Did not ated for cat’s sake. Also, pointy-face horse is fast!

Thought I saw the stupid dragon. Laid down a cloud of rainbows and bolted. Off to shimmer in the wabe. It’s glitter-time, Baby!

Couldn’t figure out why I can’t stop thinking about ateding pointy-face horse till cat said unicorn sparkly. Sparkly! Sparkly! Sparkly! Then cat sighed.

Sparkly! Sparkly! Sparkly! Want sparkly! Sparkly gold! Sparkly gems! Sparkly jewelry! Less sure about sparkly pointy-face.

Was going to hunt sparklys but rolled on back to scratch wings and cat curled up on chest and started purring. Can’t move now. Cat sleeping. Shhh.

Saw four matched white mares pulling a rich merchant’s coach. Pretty things. If only they had horns…    

Ated merchant and took his sparklys. Ated his horses too. All white like pointy-face. Pretty things. If only they had horns…
