Dinosaurs!
DAY 1:
I got a dinosaur egg as a gift. Think I’ll try to hatch it.
That couldn’t possibly go wrong, right? I mean, it’s not like Michael Crichton wrote an entire series of novels about it or anything.
DAY 2:
The instructions said to soak the dinosaur egg in water for 72 hours to hatch it, so that’s what I’m doing.
I dunno. If I wake up tomorrow and the bowl is empty, I’m getting out of the house immediately.
DAY 3:
You can see that the dinosaur egg is beginning to hatch.
I heard an ominous cracking noise, as if the very bones of the earth were grinding against each other, and wondered if trying to hatch the egg was a mistake.
Then I realized the cracking noise came from large quantities of ice falling off the roof. Time to break out the roof rake!
DAY 4:
The dinosaur is beginning to emerge from its egg! On the downside, I bet every Jurassic Park movie started this way. Though they might have had equipment more advanced than a mixing bowl.
DAY 5: THE BEAST RISES FROM THE DEPTHS!
Of, you know, the mixing bowl.
DAY 6: The dinosaur has hatched!
I think it was hungry because it immediately tried to find some lunch.
DAY 7: Now that the dinosaur egg has hatched, it can take part in historical reenactments.
For example, in the picture below, you can see a TOTALLY 100% ACCURATE reenactment of the Battle of Pharsalus in 48 BC, when Julius Caesar’s knights charged alongside his war dinosaurs to attack Pompey the Great’s camp and cut off his soldiers’ Spam rations.

Dragon + Knight = Dragon Knight? Is this some form of hint regarding the Malison novels? It’s intriguing, but I can’t quite figure out where the pig would fit in.
Both Dragons and Knights need to eat, so the pig was a welcome guest. 🙂
Loved the timeline of photos. Also enjoyed the “welcome guest” reply.
Everything’s more enjoyable with dinosaurs! That’s why I put triceratops and struthiomimuses in SEVENFOLD SWORD.
