A young woman relates the experience of her journey to an island that contains more dangers than her overbearing brother and his crew had anticipated - as a dragon hunts above the clouds.

NOTE: I wrote this in my surrealist phase. Everything is metaphorical, and nothing is literal. If you read it literally, it might seem confusing. I have other short surrealist works, but this is the only one I have up on Wattpad as there's not a lot of audience for it here. Rest assured, all my other works here on Wattpad are just straightforward storytelling.
