On a hot and stuffy afternoon, Chay and Sham want ice cream—and to spot the strange dragon that appears on the streets every Tuesday first this time. But when a metallic, boxy beast appears blowing smoke and vomiting people, what Chay gets costs her a lot more than she bargained for. A cautionary tale about getting what you thought you wanted, and the weighty impact of over-active curiosity glands. 1940 words / YA fantasy
