The Egg

He had waited twenty years to return it

What is WonHundred Word Wednesdays? It’s when a group of amazing authors and I write 100 word stories all based on the same short prompt and post them. All the variations are fun to read.

  1. Good for him. Returning a dragon egg would be hard to do. But even dragons need their mommies. 😉
