This is the story of a mother experiencing very severe depression and anxiety.  You get an inside look over one of her very severe panic attacks, as if it were a battle between herself with her children against a dragon.  When she starts to see herself resemble the dragon, she finally admits that she is ready to seek professional help.  I really like the way that the story is written.  I was constantly on the edge of my seat waiting for whatever was going to happen next.  Then realizing the symbolism as it all comes together in the end was really cool to see.  I thoroughly enjoyed the way that this is written.  The main question that sticks out to me in the paragraph about the mugger on page 6.  What is it?  Is it supposed to be there?  There’s no other mention of it and no story line that goes with it.  There’s a lot of jumping in and out of different story lines, which I understand due to the fact that she is in the middle of an anxiety attack.  However, it does make it difficult to follow along as to exactly what is real and what is happening in the present time.  The story itself is also very long, as it is ten pages single spaced right now, it feels more like a short novel rather than a short fiction piece.
