DRABBLE STORY ARC #1: UNTIL LUCK RUNS OUT
Death, Daggers and Danger
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.
You stash the dagger in your coat pocket. “He’s on my heels,” you say to Yulia. “Come with me if you want to live!”
At the far end of the underground room is a further tunnel, and beside it a black door.
But before you move on, you hear a familiar, grim voice: “Mine at last.”
Death.
Yulia leaps forward and shoves him, but he swats her aside with ease; she yelps and falls limp.
You reach for the dagger, but in your haste you fumble, and it skates across the stone floor towards the exits at the far end.
You must act quickly. You decide to…
- Punch death in the face. It’s time to face him again at last (click here).
- Run to the back of the room, grab the dagger and flee up the tunnel (click here).
- Run to the back of the room, grab the dagger and go through black door (click here).
