The Toll Bridge

By Ari Weaver

The only road to the slate quarry at Carreg crosses the Dulas Gorge on a toll bridge four hundred years old. For three weeks the dragon who sleeps on its toll tower has attacked anything that tries to cross, and Carreg hasn't had its post or its wages. You're the courier who took ten shillings to carry them over anyway. Halfway across, the bridge breaks in front of you and she rises out of the cloud beside it. Bad plans fail here the way they really would. When one does, rewind and try something better.
