Every once in awhile, I will post random stories. This is one.
Annie woke with a gasp. Was the scuffling noise she'd heard just a dream? She didn't hear again, and lay back in bed. But right as she was about to drop off to sleep, she heard it again. This time, she woke her twin brother Josh.
"Josh, I heard something downstairs!" She told him in a rushed whisper.
He nodded and grabbed his baseball bat. He and Annie slowly descended the staircase. The thing made a sound, one that proved it was VERY close. Fright held the twins still.
Annie mouthed, "What is it?" Josh shrugged.
Finally, they decided it was safe and they searched their house. They found no sign of it. Annie then raced upstairs and practically leaped into the inviting bed. She waited for Josh to come, but he didn't. She glanced at the clock. 3:27. She sighed, and tiptoed downstairs to find her brother holding a small, sleeping red dragon. In a moment, another dragon came out. It was the same size, but green. It yawned, crawled into her lap and curled up. It slept, purring.
Suddenly Annie awoke from the strange dream and gasped. There, in her lap, was a hungry, purring, green dragon.
Nice short story! Great introduction and description of the characters. What happens next?
