The Bridge Guardian
Everyone crossed the bridge.
Few noticed the guardian.
Children did, of course.
“There!” they whispered. “A dragon!”
Adults smiled politely.
“It’s only an old log.”
The dragon kept its wooden smile.
It had learned long ago that imagination fades with age.
Still, it stayed beside the bridge, watching squirrels race, butterflies dance, and sunlight paint the grass in shades of gold.
Every now and then, a child would stop, wave, and say, “Good morning.”
The dragon never moved.
It didn’t have to.
Some magic is strongest when it remains still.
And perhaps that’s why the bridge has never lost a traveller—
because every crossing is quietly guarded by those who ask for nothing…
except someone willing to believe they are real.
