Well this is something that came about from a dream one night.\u0026nbsp; What I have so far is what I've managed to remember from my very short short-term memory.\u0026nbsp; I probably will finish it sometime.\u0026nbsp; Also not sure about what species I would use either.\u0026nbsp; Comments and advice greatly appreciated.\n\n* * *\n\nUntitled Fiction Story #1\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Everyone in the village knew him.\u0026nbsp; Brahm is his name.\u0026nbsp; He was the blacksmith; a big hulking brute of a man.\u0026nbsp; He had to be almost seven feet tall, and about 28 stone.\u0026nbsp; Even with his huge size, he would not hesitate to assist anyone in the village.\u0026nbsp; He had helped me on many an occasion, especially with heavy lifting.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Where are my manners?\u0026nbsp; Allow me to introduce myself.\u0026nbsp; I am Thon, the town baker.\u0026nbsp; My breads are well known in the village, as well as my pastries.\u0026nbsp; Everyone gets their cakes from me, and if I do say so myself, I have also made many a wedding cake.\u0026nbsp; But let me get back to our smithy.\u0026nbsp; The way he works with the blistering heat and the metals, the art that comes out of his shop is amazing.\u0026nbsp; Some in the village would say it is more than just skill, which I believe.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I have watched him many times perform his craft.\u0026nbsp; The flames and heat seem to move in time like music.\u0026nbsp; On several occasions, I swore I have seen something alive in the flames, sometimes a pair of eyes watching me.\u0026nbsp; Some would think I was just overcome by the heat. But I believe that our blacksmith is more than he seems.\u0026nbsp; I have tried to ask him about where he was from, but every time I do, he stays completely silent.\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
