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.

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."
