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” and Drinking the Assassin’s Potion and Following the Mountain Path.

The view along the mountain path is beautiful despite the fighting in the valley. You sit down on a rock formation that looks like a baby giant’s building blocks, exhausted from the climb.

You think of the dwarf, mute forever. Your biggest excitement has always been when someone thinks you are that celebrity from the potato advertisements.

Now? It’s just crazy. How would you ever tell your story? “I know a gal that’s a demon...”

You hear the rustling of leaves. When you turn around, a tiny, white-furred creature jumps out of a bush. It seems jumpy and overly excited.

You decide to …

  1. Befriend the tiny beast (click here).
  2. Ignore it, and follow the mountain road to the castle (click here).
  3. Find a hiding place high in the mountain rocks (click here).
  4. Flee down the mountain (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, or check out the examples below.
