Ghost of a flea

There's a dragon charging down the street. Smoke pours out of his mouth and nose. Large, red eyes blink with malicious intent. The brown ridges along his back stand out against the blue sky. As he approaches, the crowd oohs and aahs with approval. Dramatic, orchestral music builds to a climax. Children yell with excitement. And then the dragon gets stuck. Clearly someone has miscalculated.
