Good Morning, Father. You're on a roll. This is two for two. I can't wait to see the novel you write, or put together a hundred or so of these and have an anthology.

Well done. A story to reveal truth and better, to show the people their, in hindsight, obvious solution.

There is something stirring in our subconscious, as stories about dragons are resurfacing. I have recently written some myself, but see them as monsters (fears) transforming into guardians (protectors). Interesting how humanity taps into similar streams at times…🩵

A lovely fantasy story that subverts expectations. Well done, Father Roderick. You have a real knack for using familiar settings in surprising ways. Keep it up, my friend.

Human written? Sorry to ask, but so much AI-generated stuff popping up these days and the image looks AI-generated. I'd love to add you to my list of AI-free creatives here. Especially since you write about dragons.

The story is mine, the social media image is obviously AI. However, for my publications, I would always hire real artists because I want to support their craft.
