CLICK TO PURCHASE! The damsel has been tied up and is waiting for the dragon to come and carry her off. The Evil Dragon arrives to test the damsel, to see if she really is damsel material. She seems to be. She screams nicely, even faints. Yes, it seems as if she is a true, traditional damsel. The dragon is very happy that he is able to do his duty. But then, their meeting takes an unexpected turn and the dragon finds out that not everything is as it seems. There is something very wrong with this damsel and the dragon is very disappointed. The damsel also finds out that things are not as it seems and her traditional happy end may be a long time in coming.

This is a second story with the Twisted Fairytale theme and it’s another story that I am sure will delight its readers. I certainly enjoyed it and I do hope this talented author will write more of them. In this story you will be rooting for the damsel as she shows the dragon she is not quite what he expected. But you may just change your mind when things take a turn and a surprise twist takes the story on an unexpected path that made me gasp in surprise. This is an extremely short story and is perfect for a coffee break. I’m sure it will put you in a good mood for the rest of your day, it certainly did for mine. Go pick it up right now, it’s only a dollar!
