Carrie dived out of the way as the fat dragon's huge foot missed her by a whisker. She scampered off, dodging her stomps at each turn. "You can't escape forever, mouse!" cried the dragon
"What's going on in there?" came John's voice from the bathroom.
The dragon quickly barricaded the bathroom door with a large armchair.
Completely on her own, Carrie scampered under the double bed. "Where are you??" called the dragon.
Carrie backed up against the siding board, breathing heavily.
