My attempt at this week's Thursday Prompt. This week, the word for the prompt was "intended".
Like normal, please be sure to check
ThursdayPrompt for more.
It's been a long time coming and I wasn't 100% sure on even doing this, so part of the prompt I suppose goes to my own intentions for this whole story. Honestly, probably the closest I get to meeting this prompt, but I gave it an effort (... I think. Argue I failed, I won't fight that).
This is a more definitive conclusion to Troy's story, my canine fellow who marches along an endless road to nowhere. With this one done, I'm thinking I might put together a single collection of the shorts I've done up (at least the ones I like anyways) and post that to get the full story in one place. Maybe do that later today, maybe do that whenever I get around to it (maybe do it never; I don't know, it's me we're talking about).

I appreciate you saying so, but I feel there's a lot this one could be improved on. Nevertheless, this marks my first completed story in full, so I must admit to being a bit ecstatic about that... do I get to count it if the full thing hasn't been put together yet? Huh, guess I do have a little more to do before I get to celebrate.
I'm grateful that you'd look this one over, thanks much for that.

So, has everything written happened before Troy got hit by the car, and the end of those events been him trying to gather his memories in his subconscious? If he was truly out for two days--(thinking) It could happen; time in dreams is faster than time in reality. Did you ever come up with a name for the lizard? And what lizard variation is she?
Building on the description: you got the prompt right. She tried to save Troy from the void that was the endless dreaming. I hope those two can have a relationship.

Yup, the whole thing was Troy's brain misremembering and fooling him about his relationship with the lizard over the course of a coma.
Oh, did I make a mistake? It was suppose to be he had only woken up two days ago; the length of the coma was meant to be an undetermined length of time. My bad, sorry for any confusion.
I never really came up with a canon name for the lizard and I think I'm okay with that. Perhaps adding a name for the conclusion would have been a bit more impactful, but I already struggle with thinking of suitable names. As for variation, that's another thing I never gave too much thought so I'll leave it to your imagination what specific species she is. In general, I just like reptiles but if you want something a bit more definitive, we can say a common water dragon (for reptiles they're quite sweet in my experience (had a teacher with a class pet water dragon in middle school)).
I do appreciate that you'd say I did at least meet the prompt condition this week; to be honest I wasn't sure if this really fit the bill. Had a few other ideas that probably would have worked better, but I didn't really want to do them and then started this one.
I really appreciate that you've stuck with this story for as long as you have, thanks much for doing so. The ending was probably a bit anti-climatic, but it is at least finally at its end and I just want to say thanks again for keeping up with it.

I thought it was pointed out that his coma was only two days. I don't blame you for not thinking of suitable names, though. In my headcanon, she's a Komodo Dragon, as they're venomous. So, my theory was that she'd poison Troy with a kiss, and each time, it knocked him out and erased his short-term memory.
I really appreciate you saying this was good. I'm still a bit iffy on it and it could use some serious improvement, but it does at least explain the entire ordeal throughout the story. I'm also planning to put together one singular post that compiles all of these (just need to focus up, sit down, and get it done now).
Thanks much for having read over this one, most grateful for that.

It's kind of funny: this is actually the very last part to this story. It's not especially well done, but I did enjoy putting it together.
Even though you probably felt a bit just thrown in the middle without any context, I do very much appreciate that you'd read over this one. Thanks much for that and for saying you thought it came out well enough.
