The Santa-Verse
by Lester D. Crawford
Every Santa is real. I know. I’ve met them.
I invented a transdimensional door. I opened it. A red and green and silver and gold Christmas dragon wearing a Santa hat fell through. He was angry because taking him from his Earth was ruining Christmas.
His Santa Ring’s distress signal summoned more Santas from the Santa-Verse, Santas of every type and species. Chaos ensued. I was sure I would be crushed.
Our Santa brought order by returning the others to their Earths.
He told me to stop making transdimensional doors.
I think, instead of a door, I’ll make a window.

I have a tradition of writing a 100-word Christmas story for the Advent Ghosts Flash Fiction Challenge run by Loren Eaton of the I Saw Lightning Fall blog.

I love this one, Lester! Great twist at the end.
Sometimes windows are much better than doors!
A window on all the planets where dragons live sounds like a great idea, Lester.
Nice!
I’m not going to lie, I want a Christmas dragon now 🙂
That last line is perfect. Love it!
This absolutely needs to be made into a movie!
