Part of a ‘choose your own’ story — drabble edition.

A mechanical clock against a fantasy landscape — AI image using Lexica

This is a ‘choose your own’ fiction story, “drabble edition”. You can check out Chapter 1 of this story: The Burned Village. Find out how to contribute to the ongoing story here, or check the previous chapters: ‘Power Plays’ and ‘Fighting Games’, by J.C. Lovero.

Your fist smashes into cracked ribs. “Tell me something useful.”

“My name is… Alaric.”

He’s a person, too.

Suppressed aggression is an ever-present companion, lurking in the shadows. You step back in time — to the moment you left the village — and the emotions that had been buried deep inside come to the surface.

The smell of damp rock brings you back. Rivulets of crimson splash on the ground with a soft patter.

You’re no better than the orcs.

You clench your jaw, pushing the renegade thought away. “What else should I know?”

Alaric exhales a whisper. “The Time Walker…”
