100 WCGU -- Week 84

Amazing -- first draft weighs in at EXACTLY 105 words!

Picture found here

My father, never a fearful man, was terrified that I’d get some girl “in trouble.”

Shy, socially awkward me – what a joke.

There was a girl I had my eye on, Jenny: slender, dark-haired, cute, but not the type other guys would notice.

But she was shy, too.

Not so Sheila.  I don’t know what drew her to me.  Maybe it was the challenge.

She took me for a walk in the woods, a quiet place where we were utterly alone.

She knew what to do and how to do it, and as the line was crossed, I knew I’d never be quite the same.

It came at me snarling, teeth bared.

I recoiled at the stench - burned meat, sewage, old ashes, sulphur.

So it took me for a craven and reared high above me for the kill.

There is always a soft spot somewhere on a dragon's belly, if you are lucky enough find it.

As my blade pierced it's tender flesh, the scream it let loose was an even worse assault on the senses than the smell.
