DRABBLE STORY ARC #1: UNTIL LUCK RUNS OUT
To the Mansion of Diabolus
A chapter of a ‘choose your own’ story — Drabble edition!
This is a continuation of You Are Dead, a Choose Your Own Adventure Story — Drabble Edition! Find out how to contribute here, or return to the previous chapter: “Hunting for a Joker” or “Running Through Dreamlike Streets”.
You surge for the gates, but find them locked. You climb. At the top, an iron spike rips through your pants and digs in.
“Arghh!!”
You half-climb, half-fall to the ground. Ahead, there is light. A stone mansion in moonlit gardens.
Behind, a cloaked horseback figure has reached the gate. A rotten-looking face; a gun in hand. You twist, pain flashing through your wounded leg, and run for the mansion doors.
Pushing inside just as a gunshot rings out behind, you find yourself grabbed by a muscular guard.
“Hey, this is the mansion of Lord Diabolus. Get the hell out.”
You decide to…
- Convince the guard that you are a guest of Lord Diabolus (click here).
- Try to push past the guard and run inside (click here).
- Go back to face the gunman on the horse (click here).
- Leave and run around the side of the mansion, into the gardens (click here).
