A Boy And His Dragon
“Jones’s house, which was as old and impressive as the inside had led him to believe.
There were nicer areas just outside of town, higher in elevation the way they were higher in status. Sprawling estates hidden on the edge of the woods, though even the rich wouldn’t venture too far into the forest since a pack of weres had taken up residence there a few months ago as part of Thomas Kirkpatrick’s Reclaim the Woods movement.
When they were little and their parents were alive, Arthur and Kate used... to go hiking in those woods with their family, though Kate had enjoyed it far more than he ever did. Arthur missed his family more than he missed the thought of walking for hours through the dense trees, but he did wonder for a moment about the werewolves, and if they were anything like dragons, as some said they were.
Dr. Jones most likely could have afforded to live somewhere else, in one of those bigger, pricier estates, but this was still a wealthy neighborhood: clean streets lined with orange and brown oak trees that were losing their leaves, a place where doctors and lawyers and intellectuals with family money lived.MoreLess
