Once, a long time ago when I was very, very, *very* small, I read a book. Now that isn't a thing that is special itself. A lot of people read books. Some of these people are big, and some of these people are small, as I was, but the simple act of reading is very normal. What made this book, what made this reading of this book, important, was that it scared me. It scared me very much. I was so afraid when I read it, that I never got to the end.
The story was about a boy. And it was about a dragon. And it was about a book.
The dragon was scary. In the pictures, he had deep, hollow eyes and deep, hollow nostrils, and a tongue that did not look like a regular tongue. And it ate people. It flew around and swallowed them up. But this was not what truly scared me when I was small.
The dragon, at the beginning, was in a book. He could not hurt people when he was in the book. He could only be a picture on the page. But the boy let him out. And this is what scared me.
The dragon could not help that he hurt people. He was a dragon, that was his job. But the boy did not have to open the book. He did not have to let the dragon out. It was his fault. He made all of those bad things happen. And when I was very small, I did not like the idea that a boy should be able to cause all of that damage by mistake.
That book sat on my shelf for many years, but I never read the ending. I do not know how they put the dragon back into the book. But I don't think that it's important. What's important is that there was a boy who was having fun, who was simply not thinking. And he released a dragon.Followup Messages:
