The Dragon Of Enlightenment...

Welcome to The Dragon Of Enlightenment. This is a fantasy short story I wrote with a very specific purpose in mind. It was intended to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but at the same time provide something to make the reader pause for thought.

The story has four chapters, all of them short, so it shouldn't take you long to read it. Just click on the link to 'Chapter One', and then follow the links through to the end. When you're done, you can click the "Author Comments" link to read some of my thoughts about the story, and the reasons for writing it.

Some authors defiantly refuse to "explain" their work, saying it should stand on its own merit without further explanation. I agree with that principle, but at the same time, I'm not foolish enough to think my writing is so clear that everyone will understand exactly what I'm driving at. I hope you will understand, but in case you don't, I'll follow up the story by a short commentary for your amusement/edification.

I hope you enjoy the story, and take the time to read it through to the end.
