The Water Dragon & Other Stories

Short stories, flash fiction and tidbits of subversive folklore.

J. M. Gardner Goes to Hell (part 3 of ??)

A reflection on turning 20 through the lens of fiction. Pseudo-autobiography & the last thing I plan on writing about myself for a long time.

The Water Dragon

A re-telling of the tale of St. George and the dragon. Present tense as a stylistic choice. Among other changes, I've switched the roles of Paganism and Christianity.
