The Dragon and His Wife

The Dragon and His Wife

とびらの

"I shall bite away your life when you are most beautiful and most happy." Thus promised the dragon and the human's daughter. In the dragon's eyes, the daughter's days seemed to be filled with happiness. His wife always smiled beautifully. And yet, now she no longer moves. The poignant and helpless love and fate of a dragon born with the earth and a human with a finite lifespan. (This short story was inspired by a certain tweet the other day and developed into an original short fiction. It has no connection whatsoever to the original tweet's world view, and I have received permission from the tweet's author to publish it.) (Also posted on Kakuyomu and Everista)
