"Small Monsters" is an engrossing fantasy tale from E. Lily Yu, a Tor.com Original
All it’s life, a small monster with emerald scales has been source of never-ending food to larger and more powerful creatures who feast on the small monster’s limbs each time one regrows. This is the story of how the small monster meets an industrious artist and reforms into someone new—someone who can’t be eaten.
