PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM SHINE ON ME
SHINE A LIGHT WON’T YOU SHINE A LIGHT.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND AGE FOR THE RECORD.
Well, the nearest thing a human tongue can pronounce is Euwilenth, but I go by Ewan. Like the actor. The one with the thing, there on his forehead.
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO PHILADELPHIA? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE? DO YOU LIKE IT?
I’ve been here for a decade. That’s my longest staying anywhere. My clutch followed our mother around for a while, I think about fifteen years, before we started to wander ourselves. She could never stay in one place for too long, so she taught us the shifting talent, and we would follow along. But we got too old, so we left. And I’m only here because I found a nest and a comfortable loft by the Delaware river. I like it just fine, yes. The fish aren’t as good as even other cities I’ve lived in, but they’re acceptable. They get big, since no one really fishes in there.
SO YOU HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE HERE?
I think so, yes. I left my clutch after fifteen years or so, when I had just reached full maturity. I traveled for another twenty years or so, and then I found my loftmate. She would introduce herself to you as Nerys, so that’s what I’ll call her. I was staying around Fairmount Park, had been there only for maybe a month, and decided to stay when I met her. We built up a loft together, and we’re a nest. Sometimes we go exploring—like a vacation—but this is our home now. I like going out to Lancaster and catching cows at night, especially. The ten years I’ve spent here have been a little trying, though. Time with Nerys has been the best part of my life, but being around a city, where there’s so many people who can see me, has had some pretty awful times. Getting to the mountains and the open farmlands is good to stretch my wings out, but it still has to be at night, or when it’s cloudy. I don’t like only being able to fly when I’m still hidden. I hate it, actually. I want to be able to pick for moss and sleep in a sunny patch of flowers and not have dragon hunters trying to test their skills and wit against me. And that’s what we risk happening by not having the public know who and what we are.
MANY PEOPLE SAY THEY FEAR THE CITY. WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
I’m afraid of losing my wings. If they’re hurt, they can take years to heal well enough to bear weight. Flying is my freedom. I can’t have that taken away. But I’d like to think I’m at the top of the food chain; I’m not afraid of much else.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR DREAMS? WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?
I don’t…would you ask a cat what its dreams are? Well, that’s selling myself short. I’m greater than a cat, of course. But you humans are honestly the only things in the universe who deal with trivial things like dreams. I don’t need them. If I want to eat, I hunt. If I want to sleep, I return to my loft. If I want to mate, I’ll fly a mate. The human portions of this brain, the transformed one, understands the concept, and knows the words, but they’re pointless.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF FAIRY TALE CREATURES—WEREWOLVES, GHOSTS, DRAGONS, PSYCHICS—THINGS LIKE THAT?
Oh, well, I am a dragon. You know, claws, wings, breathing fire, scales and horns, second row of retractable teeth. But I don’t like having to hide it. I want people to admire my scales and to let me rub my horns on treebark when they molt in the summer in peace.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?
Vanity is a popular dragon trait. It’s reasonable to think that. I enjoy freedom; I like to have fun, and to play and swim. I like exploring the city, because there’s always something different, even after ten years. I thought I would become bored and have to move our loft somewhere else, but the cities are very different from everywhere else in that manner. So I like to look and learn and adapt. And I really love hot dogs. They’re even better than the things you can catch. I like them best in a human dorm, but if I could get enough to fill me, I’d eat them in my real state as well. Some might find issue with how I have no patience for anything like plans. I think most humans would have issue with how I have no issue eating them, if I felt so inclined. I hardly ever do, but a dragon’s anger is nothing to take lightly. I saw Jurrasic Park in the theater—I think the first movie I ever saw, actually—and I kept cheering for the big one, the…the T-Rex. We have the same cry.
THAT’S ABOUT EVERYTHING. IF YOU’LL JUST PLEASE FILL OUT THIS SHEET, WE’LL BE ON OUR WAY.
I appreciate you having a room that’s large enough for me, but I can’t speak when I’m out of this human form. Not anything that you would understand, anyway.

you enter a dimly lit room where a shadowed figure sits across from you with a thick file in hand. the figure’s face is indistinguishable. a hot cup of coffee made just the way you like is waiting on the table. the figure beckons for you to sit. you do. finally the figure across from you speaks.
