Micro SF/F by O. Westin

"When I was young," the old dragon said, "I hoarded gold."
"Were you wealthy?" asked the princess.
"Unimaginably. And I feared losing it all. So I began to seek knowledge."
"Were you wise?"
"Yes. I realised that, too, can be lost."
"It can."
"Mm. Did I tell you of my gold?"
"No?"

@MicroSFF this could be sad or it could be sweet (or both!), and I like that

@MicroSFF I'm glad the princess cares enough to keep the old dragon company. 💖

@MicroSFF I can't decide if it's old age/memory loss, or if the dragon is actively taking away the princess's memories.

@MicroSFF that one resonates in an unhinged way with me..

@MicroSFF That resonates. My grandmother has dementia and breakfast is a loop of the same questions and answers. The good news is, she has forgotten that she doesn't really like me.
