It’s time again, for Kat Myrman’s wonderful challenge, to write a story, inspired by her picture prompt, in 280 characters or fewer.
Here is this week’s prompt and my contribution.
Check out all the fabulously creative entries here and, if you’ve never had a go, why not try a story of your own? You may surprise yourself!

The egg had to be kept at 40° F for 2 weeks then sat on, by Mum, for exactly 17 days. Dad took no part in the process!
Mum had been asked to leave the light on overnight, so she had left the fridge door open.
Dani, the baby dragon was dying!
Just because she was afraid of the dark.

Oh, Peter, that’s so sad. Can I have a happy one please?

No dragons, or eggs, were harmed in the writing of this tale. It was all just a yolk!
