DRABBLE STORY ARC #2: SEEK AND AVENGE

Distant Echoes

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

Reflection of a man — AI image using NightCafe

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: ‘Memories in Mourning’, by J.C. Lovero.

The next morning, the translucent barrier fades away into nothingness.

You push yourself up from the cold, barren floor.

The sound of heavy footfalls fills the cave. Lorenzo glances at Alaric. “He’s dead.”

You tell the story, words floating through the stillness, foreign voices whispering in the air.

It’s as if you are in a dream, thoughts languid and disconnected. Yet the emotions still linger, like distant echoes from another universe.

Lorenzo’s face twists in anger, jaw clenched and nostrils flared. “You fool.”

Scorching heat radiates through your body. You collapse, hands and knees scraping against the damp earth.

Choose your next action.

  1. Talk your way out of it. There’s no way you can beat him like this (click here).
  2. Attack Lorenzo. You’ve had enough (click here).
