Six Sentence Sunday: Dragon Bait

Today, an extract from Dragon Bait.
Fresh light spilled into the garden below from the spreading flames. Within moments, a sheet of red dragonfire engulfed the wall, flickering in eerie silence. The stone melted to slag within its shroud. The monastery’s inhabitants wailed in the distance. The dragon was quiet. Choking ash smothered the usual heady scent of blooms.

    I really liked the image of the wall melting into slag and the silence despite the flames. Well done six, Ciara. :)

    Thanks! I decided to make dragonfire burn silently. No idea why, just struck me as creepy.
