Fear of Dragons and Dragon Hunt both play on classic fantasy themes, but twist them in new directions. The stories are compelling dramas and feature sympathetic monsters. They are both rated for a general audience.

Illuminated Dragon is both a fable of political resistance but also an allegory on creativity. It is rated slightly mature for some violence.

And Run of the Fiery Horse is an intriguing tale of Eastern mythology and making a deal with a demon. It is rated slightly mature as well, for sensuality and implied violence.

I realized after writing the story that the post was actually quoting a famous political parable from a Canadian politician in the 1940s.

I not only managed to find the text of the Mouseland, but also an animation piece set to a recording of the speech.

The vignette was inspired by the classic political fable “Mouseland.” So, when Election Day comes, so be sure to vote for the right candidate…
