《Whimsical Invitations》Bezos the Dragon
Advertisement
Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away, was a continent where people thrived. One day a dragon conquered a large territory which he dubbed Amazon. From then on, the people inhabiting Amazon was forced to contribute much of their hard earned money to the Amazon territory, for both the sake of convenience that the dragon's way of ruling provided and the triviality of the dragon's rule in comparison to the daily drama of life. The dragon was uninterested in the people or their lives; he only wanted wealth. And so, the dragon let the people live their lives as they wished as he slowly drained the people of their wealth. This dragon's name was Bezos.
Other dragons inhabited the land. One day another dragon named Gates passed through Amazon and saw the state of the people. He said to Bezos the dragon, “Bezos, I’m happy for your wealth, but there are many people in your territory who are in need. If you shared your wealth among them, surely they would praise you.” The people serving Bezos echoed, “Indeed. What's the use of so much wealth?”
Bezos the dragon said nothing, and life continued as it was. Gates the dragon said nothing, and his life continued as it was, regardless of what he said among the people.
One day, the people of Amazon found amusement in the news of the day. The dragon's wife had taken a quarter of his wealth and left him! “I'd marry a dragon too if I could end up as wealthy as that!” The housewives and barmaids mused.
During this, Bezos said nothing and life continued as it was.
As such, much like it was when Bezos the dragon took over the territory, the daily drama of life is what concerned the people, and sometimes there were people who questioned the way of things. They would say, “There are other beasts we could offer our wealth to. Why must we offer everything to Bezos the dragon? My cousin's son-in-law had become a werewolf, and I'd rather offer my money to him than to Bezos the dragon!”

But again, Bezos the dragon said nothing, and life still continued on as it was.
And as such, the beasts of the land grew stronger, ignored, while the people continued to be groomed for sustenance.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.
