Mythical Creatures Short Story

Improved Essays
I didn't generally like my job because I always had to keep it secret. I was sitting in my office secretly watching all of the magical creatures because they got startled easily if they saw somebody watching them. I always thought my office was pretty plain. It had one of those windows where you could see whatever is on the other side of the window but they couldn't see you. I just sat in my spinning chair and looked out the windows. I couldn't help but look at the mythical creatures because they were just so mesmerizing.

I saw fairies flying in and out of the Willow tree as they always did. As I turned my head I saw much more mythical creatures. I saw the cute little gnomes protecting everyone and everything around them. I loved

When we first decided to take care of all of the mythical creatures and put them in a magical Zoo 5 years ago we didn't want them to hurt each other, so we separated them both. As I went down the hall I saw them through a window. I was disgusted at the image. I saw our big dragon called Darion burn everything with his nasty dragon breath as he always did. His yellow eyes scared me. It was like every time I looked at them they stared into my soul. I saw those nasty trolls hiding under the bridge waiting for someone to walk over it so that they could say something dumb to them. They were the most hideous thing on earth. Their faces were wrinkled up and they had the hugest nose on earth that covered most of their face. I suddenly saw a big tree fall down and I already knew who it was. It was Oliver the Ogre. His hobby was to knock down trees. Out of nowhere the leprechaun named Greedy gave me the starriest smile ever on the other side of the window. He had crooked brown teeth that were rotting and I wouldn't necessarily call them pearly whites. He looked at me even harder and was about to tell me

    Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family. As the pages of my favorite childhood story flutter through my fingers, memories of fantastical worlds flood my mind. I begin to read aloud about the four children, sent away to a mysterious house and the wardrobe that transports them to a magical new land. The tale is just as enchanting as I recall, but this time through the story, the magic I appreciate most is not found in the pages of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.…

Although my pets’ glare made the men show fear, a group of muscular men with looks that can kill still sent shivers down my spine. After all, a group of men against me, a poor woman, is simply not fair. Plus to that, who do they think they are to come barging into my house in the land of Aeaea with no invitation?…

    The Golem Short Story

    • 815 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The Golem by Avram Davidson is a retelling of a Jewish folklore with a twist that makes it stand out from other science fiction tales. Evident from the title of the story, the story starts with the appearance of a golem at the porch of an old couple’s home. The old couple – Mr. and Mrs. Gumbeiner – react very calmly to the situation, unlike how characters usually react in science fiction stories when they encounter a monster-like or alien-like being. Their indifference towards the golem and the golem’s desperate yet ineffective threats gives the story a humorous spin on usual action-packed science fiction stories.…

    Did you know bison can grow to 5 or 6 feet tall and can weigh up to 2,500 pounds? They are pretty huge animals, and they look even more ginormous when 5 of them are standing right in front of you. We were in Colorado at the time; enjoying the not unbelievably humid air (unlike Louisiana). We were staying at an RV park right next to an ATV trail; which we planned to ride our ATV on. The day after we got there, I was sitting outside around 4 or 5 PM, being bored, when I decided to ask if I could ride the ATV down the trail a little ways.…
