Image by the author using MidJourney

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 chapter: ‘The Orcs Attacked’, by JF Danskin.

You charge, Dara just behind you. But somehow, there are more orcs than you thought possible! Dara shoots more arrows, then gets drawn into a melee nearby. Further off, Bruno is yelling, his dog barking frantically.

Somehow, orc reinforcements arrived.

Now you’re surrounded by three orcs, huge ferocious-looking brutes with jagged swords. One has fresh burns from the fire.

You step back once, finding yourself backed against a tree. You parry a blow, and duck another; an orc which swung high finds his blade stuck in the trunk.

The third nearly runs you through, but you jink to the side.

Fighting for your life, you…

  1. Drop to the ground and roll away (click here).
