Baneful Creatures

"Our patrol has detained ten trophy hunters near Breamish Valley," he says over the two-way radio. "There are five, maybe six young dragon carcasses, but that's not the problem, boss. It's their mother."

Baneful Creatures is a perfect example of the Magical Realism genre, so much so that my teacher whose class I wrote it for praised it to the heavens and saved it to show future students. It is a passion project, laced with compelling themes and important critiques of today's society. If you do take the time to read my story, first of all, thank you! And I am curious to hear your interpretation of my work.
