A Dragon Named Balto

Self-Published

Community Rating

Description

Balto delivers mail to the various towns and villages he lives near, but between crumbling infrastructure and grumpy post office workers, Balto has many things to worry about.

At least he has his stamps and his family.

(CW: mildly bloody violence, abuse, and bigotry as well as the use of slurs)

    Balto the mail dragon is young, doesn't quite understand the situation he is in. He is abused constantly from all sides, I wish him luck.
    It's a short story, doesn't quite have a full arc, but then, some stories are best left short.
    Grammar is good, characterization is good. Author has done a good job of bringing to life what I presume is a late 1940's or early 1950's southern United States and all the issues that entails. There are juicy hints towards a larger world at play too.

    Fuck man
    Make me cry while I wait for my next class
    I well.. idk about enjoyed per say.. but this is Good! I love Balto and want to protect him. Makes me so angry I can't. The setting is interesting and I'm intrigued by the illusions to some event regarding dragons which caused all this hate. Lee's a good man. Emotions really got through to me. Really hope Balto can find happiness somewhere else.
