h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

She was an ecoterrorist before her time. What a trouble maker---she also created a refugee crisis. Singlehandedly. Money doesn't pay for anguish of dislocating families. What an ending! Did this village get a better mayor and council from that day on?

Hi Elektra! Well put it this way: Narlesha was the kind of person who could get rid of a dragon for you.

The refugees were only refugees for a couple of weeks ... for the kids it was quite an exciting break from humdrum everyday life. Yep, they did get a new mayor and council ... who were at least a little bit more humble and considerate. But still politicians. One shouldn't expect *too* much after all.

Well anyways! Elektra, the goal with this story was just to be silly, funny and irreverent. I wanted to butcher not just a dragon, but a bunch of dragonslaying and fantasy tropes as well.

Well thanks a lot for sharing it with us, Willem. I am sorry that you didn't get more comments ---but I think a lot of people are away for vacation or just too hot in the UK to be able to post.
