Title of Work: : Thoughts of Better Days (short story, animal)
Author of Work: : ElfinDragon - Unemployed
Date: : July 22

Plot:
A dragon has thoughts of better days.

Scene/Setting:
A dragon sits and ponders about the past. Mankind seems to be building metal structures in the present. The dragon laments that at one time man created beauty. They used the purest of gold which only made the songs the dragons heard sweeter. The dragon wishes for the past when the things man built and made, had some life to them. This ability of man and the gold man had is what drew the dragons to mankind. Dragons could hear a special music which surrounded and emanated from gold. The dragons leave mankind though, because man starts to add things to the gold, to make it stronger. Unfortunately this drowns out, and eventually kills the sweet music of the gold. Other metals which are now popular with mankind, only hold the feelings of death. The dragon, of the story sticks around because he is hoping man will continue to invent things for itself, and the next invention will be better and hopefully full of life.

Characters:
Dragon

Suggestions:
You say the dragon hides among the humans. At this point in the story you don't say how he hides. I am taking it for granted it will be explained soon. I enjoyed your first little vignette into the story.
