part of this is real

When she danced, I fell in love all over again. The handles fall off my doors, leaving me open as my skin to her hands, as the keys I carry in my eyes click my locks open, letting her in. She could reach in past my ribs, stain her fingers on my blood, and all I could do is lean in. I am a massacre before her, astronomical, strained, prostrate. Her fingers spell my name.... Okay. Sorry. I have to stop writing a moment. There is a freaking dragon in the elevator. I can hear it. Banging. My co-workers can hear it. It is there and getting closer. ....

Yes, yes, a dragon; that's all fine and well, my dear, but what you have failed to mention is exactly WHAT KIND of dragon it is! You don't want to mistaking one dragon for another - it could be a benevolent creature on its way up as part of some gallant quest, or on some sort of mission of mercy. The last thing you need to be doing is causing some intermystical-species incident, young lady!

And pray unto whatever deities you believe in that it is NOT the dragon that resides in Squamish. Trust me, you do not want to awaken that dreadful creature. Foul thing, that.

The dragon is the true part of this post.

I know. You're dealing with someone who has a very firm belief in the existence of dragons, dear star.

You are mistaken. It is a velociraptor.

There actually was a dragon. For Chinese New Year.

Neat! But are you sure it wasn't a lion?

A Chinese dragon? Ah, well, that's okay then. See? It's all in the naming.

I think one of the words in sentence 4 may be missing an "r"? Or perhaps I am just missing something.

Oh dear me, you are absolutely right.
