Drabble Story Arc #2: Seek and Avenge
The Cell…
A chapter of a ‘choose your own’ story — drabble edition.
This is a ‘choose your own’ fiction story, “drabble edition”. The whole thing begins with ‘The Burned Village’. If you want, head back to the previous chapter, “Filling Your Pockets with Gold”, or “Trouble in Town”.
And find out how to contribute to the ongoing story here.
You try to pull free from their grasp, but to no avail. Your number’s up. News of your crimes has spread fast.
Soon you are in a cell, in a ragged smock — your possessions gone.
“When’s my trial?” you ask. A guard smirks, then guffaws loudly and departs.
You look around. There is a stone bench, bars, and a drain. You search, but can find nothing to pick the lock. No loose bars. Only bugs for company.
No hope.
Daily, guards throw in water and crusts of bread, then depart.
There you stay.
Weeks? Months?
You lose track of time.
The End.
