Year of the Dragon



Most people were thinking it, but it wasn’t until Father Bickly brought it up in his sermon that people were willing to say it aloud. Maybe not the Satan part, but the Dragon, certainly. How else do you explain people and homes going up in flames?

It was maybe thirteen months after the first home went up that the King’s men arrived. They laughed at us and our ‘stories’ but they rode out to kill the Dragon.

They never told us what happened, they just rode back to the castle, a large metal tube and metal basket carried between them…
