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 trudge on through the snowy market, passing the anthills (which, now that you come to look at it, are probably not real), and moving towards a forge.

It’s closed, with no sign of a blacksmith.

You curse. A sword, even armor — those would have been useful against Death’s scythe!

At this thought, you look around anxiously, but there is still no sign of a hooded man or a dark rider. Perhaps he got distracted by the charcuterie stalls…

Just then, you notice a trapdoor on the ground by the anvil.

It looks recently used, too, with snow brushed aside.

You decide to…

  1. Enter the trapdoor (click here).
  2. Forget about Yulia the Blacksmith, and charge through the anthills towards the edge of town (click here).
