DRABBLE STORY ARC #2: SEEK AND AVENGE
Punctuated by the Darkness
Part of a ‘choose your own’ story — drabble edition.
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: ‘Last Words’, by J.C. Lovero.
“So, you’re feeble and dimwitted?” Lorenzo balls his hand into a fist, and your throat constricts from an invisible force. “I could forgive one or the other. But not both.”
The pressure intensifies in your forehead.
As you drift away, the sound of your family’s laughter reverberates in your ears…
You inhale a deep breath and close your eyes to take in the beautiful sight…
Your lips curl upward in a gentle smile…
Your breaths slow as if you are there once again, basking in the moment’s warmth…
Until an eerie silence surrounds you, punctuated by the darkness…
Finale — Part Two (click here).
