Random Word Drabble Challenge Day 33 Word Is Nobody
After Daenerys sacked King’s Landing, Brandon became king. Arya said goodbye to her siblings and left Westeros to sail west.
Many thought of Arya as a nobody or a “No one.” That proved fatal for the Night King, Little Finger, and the Freys.
As Arya sailed off, a massive ship hand stomped up on deck carrying a dwarf. It seems Tyrion Lannister had passed out below.
“I guess Bran is without a Hand,” Tyrion exclaimed.
Arya and Tyrion sailed off beyond the setting sun, their quest for an answer to: “What’s West of Westeros?”
What an adventure this will be.
I apologize to George R. R. Martin for borrowing his characters for this drabble. However, if he’d just get on with it and publish “A Dream of Spring,” we could all stop speculating about what’s next.
A drabble is exactly 100 words, no more, no less. In this case, the random word to build the story around is “nobody.”
Thanks to Nancy Oglesby and Fiction Shorts for the daily challenge.
Here are three other drabbles for your enjoyment.
