In the middle of a vast lake rises a single stone pedestal with a landing just large enough for a man to kneel. The brave leave offerings for those who would listen, and at night you swim up from the depths to take what's been given. What gift do you treasure most?

A hundred feet above the street, perched on swaying scaffolding with chisels at your belt, you chip away at stone no one will ever see. No excuse for poor workmanship. Water needs to be managed; stone brought alive. What hidden gargoyle do you carve life into today?

The stickiest dragon, soft-scaled in ripe lovebird colours (green, yellow, coral). Found in one-in-a-million mangos, the bigger ones, sometimes identified by the fruit's heat, even out of direct sun. They don't take to domestication but it sunbasks on the patio while I read poetry. #TinyTalesTuesday
The mango tree has been protected by your family for generations. Its fruit is the best in the world, but it's not for sale. Most contain a normal pit, but every so often, there's something else inside. Something delicate and precious. What did you find last spring?

There's only been one single documented case of thornstrife catching a person, and that was a young kid. Small for his age, too. They razed that patch to the ground after, but they have to keep burning it every spring to keep the shoots from coming back. #TinyTalesTuesday
Thornstrife is a real problem. It was imported from the continent 300 yrs ago for decoration, but we don't have the megafauna to keep it under control here. It can tangle up anything smaller than a cat and feed it into its rhizome network to self-fertilize. Awful stuff. Admittedly pretty, though.
