Dragon: Myth of the Bermuda Triangle

The Mystery is History | Author's Note

Song: "Song of the Sea" - Nolwenn Leroy

        Dragon: Myth of the Bermuda Triangle (originally The Beast of the Bermuda Triangle) is a short story I first wrote in 11th grade, after Mom and I went on a cruise to The Bahamas on the Carnival Ecstasy herself. During our journey, we briefly passed through the Bermuda Triangle. Twas, this story was born. I remember sitting at the ship's bow and having my notebook. A new story idea fluttered into my head like a beautiful butterfly, and I started writing.

Dragon is meant to be a nice break from my main novels. It is written in the present tense and from the perspective of a twelve-year-old, so that's why it may sometimes feel like the grammar is simple. I don't expect a twelve-year-old to have an enormous vocabulary yet.

This story is close to my heart. My 11th-grade teacher gave me extra time to finish it for our Final Exam, so she is the main person I want to dedicate it to. I would never have finished this story without her support and constructive criticism. Therefore, thank you.

I hope you enjoy this sweet little book just as much as I do. She is my baby, and I am proud of her. Do you want to know why? Because she is the story that helped me win my first first-place award. She is the story that's helped me realize there is so much more to the Bermuda Triangle than death and destruction.

I love you, girl.

Sincerely,

Viktoria Fyodorova
