Stone-mothers

I guess this one’s about benign repression, or some similarly horrid garbage-sauce controlling business in that general halo. Basically, there’s this dragon who’s under human control for seriously historical reasons unrelated to her, and now certain humans decide they want to control her offspring. Mildly salient, though I wrote the first draft of this ten years ago. Oddly, and with apologies, I say this one appears to have a happy, or at least a hopeful, ending. It’s forthcoming in 2025 in the anthology Dragon Mysticana from Inkd Publishing.
