I was lying
in my mother’s front yard. There
was a woman, unidentified, laying on my back. I was somewhere between awake and asleep. I saw my mom and my nephew, Alex,
walking towards the house. I was
somewhat, mentally, uncomfortable having my mom see this person lying on top of
me. I jumped up.
I greeted my
mother and nephew. She wondered if
we had seen the Komodo dragon. I asked
what she was talking about. She
said that she had seen a Komodo dragon in the yard. I started looking around for it.
Found it not
much later. It was not that big. Maybe two feet long. I picked up Alex to show him. While we were looking at it, it started
to move toward us. I backed up to
let it pass but it followed. As I
was cautiously avoiding it, I almost stumbled over another one lying in the
weeds.
It became
obvious that the Komodo dragon was not just following us, but following us with
ill intent. I wanted to kick it,
but was hesitant to do so both because of the rarity of Komodo dragons and
because I didn’t want to make it mad.
