"I'll always be there for you, my friend." You wouldn't believe me if I told you my best friend was the king of an alternate dimension. You'd probably laugh and ask what I was high on if I told you I saw him, standing there in all his majesty's glory, black wings spread, sword raised, his crown resting firmly on his head. You'd tell me that I was sleep walking or having a dream if I told you about what kind of monster I watched him fight. No one would believe me, so no one has to know. Completed June 2017 1st place winner of the Golden Star Awards in the Short Story category! Gorgeous cover made by @glitter1507 3rd place winner of the Chaos Awards in Short Story!
