Every time there was a party at his neighbour's
- Every time there was a party at his neighbour's he had the same old problem...
- The neighbors kept dropping red solo cups in his moat and their thumping music kept his dragon up all night.
- The dragon pinched the bridge of his nose with his claws. He sighed. His tapestry exploded into flames. He went to the castle wall and say the red cups, the ping pong table
- and the royal shuffleboard court turn to gray and smoldering cinders. The antihistamines had failed. The Dragon De La Paloma sought the village witch, who lived in Far Emberwood, n
- ot far from Near Emberwood. The witch's name was Ypu. The dragon flew to her hut in the woods and knocked politely. "Ypu, sweetie, I have a frightful cold. You got any brew?" he
- asked. “Ah, yes, I indeed do. A cold, you say?” The dragon nodded. “Some liquid fire should clear that up.” The witch cackled, dumping cayenne, wood and slime into the cauldron.
- She then spent a few moments wondering how exactly a fire-breathing behemoth develops something as trivial as a cold. Oh well, the potion was almost ready, purple, bubbly and ...
- enticingly lemon-scented. She took a vial from her belt and filled it to the brim with the purple liquid. She stoppered it with a cork and sighed. "Some cold medicine," she said.
- She tucked the small vial back into her belt and patted it gently. "Well I suppose this will be our little secret then" she whispered enticingly, a finger held up to her lips.
- No one ever discovered the secret. This sequestering of knowledge of the vial caused the world to blossom into an unimaginable utopia. Life for all became a never ending ecstasy.

In other words they all lived happily ever after. I didn't realize I did that.

Oh, I meant to say that I didn't realize I wrote such a trite ending. While you, Slim, have caused everyone to live happily ever after.

I thought that ending was kind of refreshing. Let's not forget that it could all be completely ruined by a disclosure of the knowledge of the vial, though.

To think that I started it 4 years ago!

It's like a time capsule.
