Round 2 – Part 2 prompt from the Fabulous Spec-Fic Smackdown 2024: Write a dabble (exactly one-hundred words) that contains the words Neverland and crocodile.

Word count = 100


My excited hands cradled an original 1911 edition of Peter and Wendy. But upon opening, sparkling fairy dust surrounded, magically transporting me to a sea-side fantasy land, presumably, Neverland.

"This is not my Wendy," a green-dressed boy scowled to a circling fairy.

"But I am a Wendy," I replied, clutching the book.

"Then, you shall have to do."

"For what purpose, Peter Pan, I presume?"

Peter grinned, "For adventure, of course! The crocodile swims amok and the Lost Boys are, well, lost. The clock ticks again — no time to waste!"

"Bring it on," I answered. "The story deserves a sequel."
