The next flashfic challenge prompt is this quote, suggested by karavila:

Immediately after the monsters, die the heroes. -Roberto Calasso, The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony

Flashfic is 100 to 1000 words, but longer responses to the flashfic prompts are allowed. Flashfic challenges run for 2 weeks. This one will end on 25 June 2014.
