The lady and the dragon

The dragon is alone. More miserable than anyone has ever ever been. Covered in boils and bumps and sins and self-hate and horrible scales. No one loves him, he’s too ugly. Deserved. Alone and ugly. And his lovely universe has gone – he had destroyed it.

Can anything save him? A little girl? Should he eat her (that’s what dragons do)? Or – wonder – will she help him use a tiny spark to – oh! – to re-create the universe? And, and – love him.

Yes! look again! He is shining and – beautiful!
