The gargantuan dragon had proven impervious to human weapons and still demanded a virgin.
General Cavendish saluted fifteen-year old Genevieve Holder with a tear. “Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.”
Genevieve shook with fear, but bravely entered the cave entrance. Twenty minutes later, she returned, laughing.
Worried, Cavendish said, “What’s wrong?”
Still chuckling, Genevieve said, “It’s fine. She’s going through changes, and it’s that time of the century.”
Cavendish shook his head, confused. “Time for what?”
Genevieve patted his arm. “It’s a girl thing, General. I’m gonna need fifty yards of super-absorbent foam, preferably pink.”

Guys, if you still don’t get it…ask a female friend for help…
Some things are definitely best kept between women! 🙂

I’m a female so I understand perfectly. No wonder the dragon asked for a virgin. Good for Genevieve, the heroine of the day. Hilarious, Eric. 😀 — Suzanne

Good thing they didn’t send a virgin male. He’d probably just die of extreme awkwardness.

Dear Eric,
There are certain things only another female can understand. Crazy story and I love it.

So true. For centuries dragons have demanded virgins. We thought they wanted to eat them. In reality, they just wanted advice. 😉 Thanks so much! 🙂

I love the humour in this. But a small change would add a satisfactory dimension for me.
Genevieve patted his arm. “It’s a girl thing, General. I’m gonna need fifty yards of super-absorbent foam, preferably pink, and the Dragon wants you to deliver it.””

Haha! I like this idea. Unfortunately, that would put me well over the 100 word limit. I wouldn’t hesitate to add it in if I could. Thanks much! 🙂
