Travels with Charley. Marley and Me. I Am Legend. Plenty of stories have already used the “human and their animal companion” trope, now it’s your time to take a whack at it.

The catch? Not only is the companion not allowed to be a dog, it can’t be any realistic, existing animal.

Basically, I want a short story starring a man/woman and their pet fictional creature (they exist in the world of the story, just not in this world) who helps them in some way over the course of the story.
The creature can relate to an already-created fictional creature, like something from the D&D Monster Manual, but I’d encourage you to be as creative and unique as you can.

So, if there are no further questions, grab your Non-Euclidean Milkbones and your Möbius leash and get started!
