A Little Something...

Not sure what to write about today. There has been some short fiction spinning in my head. Forgive me, it's raw and undeveloped. I am going to share a segment of it and then, as it forms I'll show how it evolves. 

I noticed right away. It's like watching a magnet being dragged across a TV set. My dream about returning to college, a recurring dream, was invaded by a snarly dragon. 

I clawed my way to consciousness and felt her on my pillow. Her pink, round face twitched every few seconds. Her chest rose and fell with a soft rhythm. Her blond hair, sticky with remnants of a lollipop, clung to her cheeks. She sucked her fingers intermittently, her eyelids fluttering slightly. 

Her dreams had a lot of dragons in them. Sometimes they were friendly but lately the dragons had started firebombing. She had been asking me a lot of dragon-related questions. I wasn't sure why the dragons were changing, but I decided I would ask her in the morning. 

I rolled out of bed and picked her up to walk her back to her room. 

I am not sure what this will turn into. It feels lame.
