Drabble 97

Strike 4. Fell asleep at the laptop sometime around midnight. Finished at 7:20, an hour and a half late. Will get today's done nice and early to be careful.

The knight stood at the entrance of the tower, sword in hand, ready to face the dragon. Or, he would have been, had the dragon been anywhere in sight. He looked around for it, but when he couldn’t see it anywhere he shrugged his shoulders and made to walk straight into the tower. It was then that a giant paw appeared out of nowhere, crushing the knight against the flagstones. The dragon, which had crept silently up behind the knight, licked the blood from its paw, leaving what was left of the knight in a puddle at the tower door.
