DRABBLE STORY ARC #1: UNTIL LUCK RUNS OUT
Becoming the Messenger
A chapter of a ‘choose your own’ story — Drabble edition!

This is a continuation of You Are Dead, a Choose Your Own Adventure Story — Drabble Edition started by Bradan Writes Stories. Find out how to contribute here, or return to the previous chapter: “The Fantastic Woodlands”.
“I’ll do it,” you say, “I’ll be your messenger.”
As you take the figurine, the dwarf tries to speak one last time before his life ends.
“You are our only hope!”
His body relaxes with a relieved sigh, and you suddenly can’t hold back your tears, realising the toll Death’s game takes on your soul.
You have to find that castle! Maybe Death can’t reach there.
You see smoke rising in the North. The castle is under siege. There is a direct road leading there. To the East, a path moves up a mountain, offering a better view of the castle. You can also walk through the forest on the West side of the road to use it for cover.
You decide to…
- …take the direct road to the castle (click here).
- …follow the mountain path (click here).
- …use the forest as protection from potential dangers (click here).
This is a collaborative story, and you can add a chapter with an alternative path, or a whole new story of your own if you like! Come join us at Choose Your Own Adventure–Collaboration to contribute.
