Clever short piece, read like a fable, and I knew that the rash behavior of the protagonist would not lead to a good end!

Thank you. I think Martan's end was set from the beginning, of course, but it was fun to watch it unfold - at least for me as I wrote it! Glad you enjoyed it.

Fun story, thanks! Put me in mind of Tinder (which I've never used), only with dragons. Swipe left or swipe right? I wonder what a dragon dating app would be called? There's an idea for a story...

I had my fingers crossed for Martan. I have a soft spot for characters doing foolish things and then struggling to get out. He gave it a good shot!

Yeah, most enjoyable. And though I anticipated a nasty end to ol' Martan, I didn't "see" it coming.

Thanks! The ending was kind of inevitable. Sometimes knowing how a story will end is part of the fun. I'm glad this one worked for you!
