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 Cellar of Lord Diabolus”, or “Step Into the Darkness”.

You see nothing but menace and bloodlust in Lord Diabolus’ eyes. The blood covering his arms up to the biceps tells its own story. Instantly, you know there is no way to face him and survive.

When he walks toward you, a vicious grin on his face, you realise that you wasted precious seconds in shock.

Panic grips you! With a childish screech, you rush up the stairs.

You burst through the door into the hall. Before you can react, a zombie grabs you.

The only ways out are the wooden stairs leading upwards or the door to the gardens.

You decide to …

1. Struggle with the zombie and push it down the stairs to the dungeon to block Lord Diabolus’ path.
2. Break free from the zombie’s grip and run up the wooden stairs.
3. Break free from the zombie’s grip and run outside to return to the mansion’s gardens.

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.
