It’s that time of year again. Kids and teachers are getting ready for another year of learning and growing together. The nervousness mingles with the excitement. 
The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators has a fun little writing prompt for this month: In 50 words or less, give us a first impression of your character’s new teacher.
And so I present to you, a 47 word story. Enjoy!
Dragon Lady
A nervous hiccup escaped my lips.
Dragon Lady whipped around.
A second hiccup erupted followed by a warm blast of shame.
Her red painted claw pointed at me.
“Lesson One,” she growled.
The third hiccup exploded in flames.
“You have earned the first star of the year.”

So cute, Juliana 🙂 I hope to start visiting more often. Shooting for normalcy, but it keeps evading me.
