Tiny Story: Bewildered

Posted on Sep 20, 2019Oct 24, 2019 by Shaily Agrawal

The Dragon was seething.

She was left in the care of a woman who was always sleeping. She was alone and hungry, and had to live on the rats that roamed in the old castle.

She could not fathom why anyone would care to guard a castle who nobody lived in anymore. If only someone would let her out…

She tried to ask a few gentlemen who visited. But either they died on spot (and made a nice roasted meal, for a change) or ran away screaming about some monster. She wondered who the monster was. May be she could ask him to let her out…

So, I quarreled with Him and told Him this is not working out between us; if He really loves me, He will have to prove it.

Then I cried and said He doesn’t even listen to me anymore.

A few days later He answered my prayers… because while fighting, I believed that He listens AND loves.
