According to Open Office's "writer" this is sitting at 22,000 words.
To me, it is a 'short story', maybe a bit longer than the breed standard but so it goes.
You tell me, what is it?
And yes, I saw a couple of typos I missed in the original posting.... there's probably more.

"Shouldn't a real live dragon be, you know, bigger?"

Part One
1. "I'm in, all the way in"
"Welcome to the fifth double episode of 'Extreme Real World Travel', I'm Cheryl Wise, your host for this adventure in Asia with our six amateur explorers. Today, we come to you from the Manas International Airport in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, two thousand miles south east of Moscow, and six hundred miles north of Islamabad. In part of the world that's just about as far from an ocean as you can get. And we are still nearly two hundred miles from our jumping off point in At-Bashi for our trip into the Tian Shan Mountains on the border with China along the ancient Silk Road."
The attractive young woman with the very polished smile paused for a second, "of course, some of our viewers will recognize the name of the country as a source of sporadic trouble with certain radical elements. However, our partners from the BBC have been in contact with their leaders and have received assurances that we will be allowed safe passage through their regions," she nodded confidently. "After these messages from our sponsors, we'll meet our explorers and find out what their challenges are. And yes, in this edition, they have more than one goal to accomplish."
