really short stories
I love creative writing challenges. I usually wind up going to Writing Prompts, but this morning I found a post that posed an equally fun challenge. It’s a contest to write a story in ten words or less. I found that it forced me to be concise and witty without the added verbiage. I am re-posting mine because, yeah, I can be a little vain at times. (Seriously though, I think mine are pretty good… entertaining at the least.)
I think it is important to update the all-too-common tale that pushes specific gender roles, sexual orientation and common misconceptions.

Princess had to choose. Dragon smirked. Yeah, Stockholm Syndrome.
