A short fantasy story about what happens when no knights in shining armour are going to turn up and a girl has to save herself.
Author
Roderick Gladwish
Professional engineer, part-time writer, part-time illustrator, full time dreamer. Due to poor self-control I write fiction. My short stories have been published in all sorts of places. I'm working to bring them all to Smashwords. Eventually novels will appear here as well. I'm biased toward Fantasy and Science Fiction, mainly I am a little random.
