A Dream About A Hoard of Stories

  There is a dragon whose hoard is stories. Its ir is a skyscraper in a modern city and within its ir storytellers of various mediums are held captive. Their physical needs are cared for while they are set to work creating. They are given free rein to do rgely as they wish so long as they do not try to leave and do not stop their work for too long. Whenever one of them completes their story they are summoned to the dragon’s innermost sanctum, a room of blinding white, every surface as bnk as a page or canvas. Once their story has been presented to the dragon they find themselves waking elsewhere in the tower ir with all memory of the story they created repced by the memory of being devoured by the dragon.

  The storytellers devise a pn. Some of them will arrange for outside help to come in to capture or sy the dragon while it is busy devouring a story and one of them will sneak into the inner sanctum to record that st sacrificial story so that it is not entirely lost forever.

  The newest and youngest storyteller is called in to present their story to the dragon. The story is in the form of a game featuring the storyteller and the dragon as characters. When help finally arrives, the inner sanctum is empty and the storyteller that was sent to observe and record says despite slipping into the sanctum mere minutes after the youngest storyteller both the youngest storyteller and the dragon were nowhere to be seen.

  The youngest storyteller reappears from the white room while everyone’s back is turned. Following behind is a person covered in scales. It is what remains of the dragon after being consumed by the story that held its image.
