"Fairy tales don't tell children that dragons exist. They already know dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be slain" - G.K. Chesterton
    
    I wrote this short story as an assignment for my English class and was encouraged to post it.  The story may be confusing at first because it is written as a frame narrative, but please be patient with me. This is my first complete story, so I understand there may be errors. I welcome constructive criticism, but please be polite because I have the confidence of a chicken nugget.
    
    TRIGGER WARNING
    There are deaths in this short story, but I did my best to write them as delicately as possible. If suicidal themes are potentially triggering for you, this may not be the story for you.
