“The bridge had no cameras. No foot traffic this early. No traps, no danger, which was becoming rare in the modern world. Safety was mostly forgotten now; magic folk rarely had a reprieve in a world ruled by cameras and sensors. People didn’t look for monsters anymore. Most doubted their existence. They much preferred to watch strangers dance on little screens.”
― Jeremy D. Scholz

Taylor  Epperson
“I opened my father’s journals and tried to read the scribbling of a middle-aged man with no organization skills. Each creature had its own row with its name, age, species, and notes.
First on the list: Indo—easy. Indomitus: seventy, horned ash dragon, cannot fly nor breathe fire / trauma with poachers / scars. Considering he’d been here since before I was born, I knew he was fed in the woods near the water. He didn’t come out to be seen, but I wasn’t surprised. He never was social. I left it at that, leaving his food on a boulder.
Next on the list: goats. Finneas and Finnigan: six, dassin goats, Finneas’s eyes pecked out after abandoned / Finnigan is brother don’t separate. Side note: discovered they’re females; keeping the names. Their milk has healing properties, hence the creams we sell.”
― Taylor Epperson, Second Time's a Charm
