The Three O’Clock Dragon

Liza is a gentle dragon, half a mile long, who has made her home in the tunnels of Prosperity City's metro. The city's corrupt mayor keeps spending public money on attempts to kill her, and she is increasingly fed up with it. When the feud starts to bother ordinary commuters too, Liza and her fellow riders decide the simplest answer is to run against him. A light, funny short story from Tordotcom about petty politics, public relations stunts and a dragon who would honestly do a better job.
