Raven Again Already

It is Saturday already and we have to be out reading all those wonderful stories.
Today we give out our eighth dragon award. Click HERE to see our gallery of winners.

You know we dragons write great stories too.
No! We are not humble.
Here is our mega challenge for today.

Poor old Zeus was siting on his thrown On Mount Olympus having a casual conversation with the former god Mercury when they were interrupted by a car backfiring loudly on earth. “That car needs a new muffler” Zeus said “ In the old days when people believed in me I would have zapped the brigadier general driving it with fire hotter than any earthly arsonist can produce.” But our day is over. Just look at the gods that are gone forever because nobody believes in them.” he said pointing at the portraits of extinct gods. No doctor could save them but just a hint of belief would have. Were only here because of teen age girls at slumber parties, comic books, and one old Greek guy.”
“ I would rather die from an attack of apoplexy than this slow lingering death. I used to be the master of speed now I can’t even beat a hummingbird flying through a groove of birch trees.” Mercury said with disgust. “ We don’t even have believers on the shallow end of the pool, the gene pool that is. What do they believe in now?”
“ Hot dogs with lots of mustard and as much money as they can get their greedy hands on “. Answered Zeus. “ We were much more fun”.
Even as they talked they continued to fade away.

That took so many words we are all tired and are skipping the other challenges this week.
