DRABBLE–ISH STORY ARC #6: HUNTING A DEMON
A Warrior Sees Red!
A chapter of a ‘choose your own’ story — drabble edition!
This is a continuation of Hunting a Demon, a Choose Your Own Adventure Story started by JF Danskin and written in drabbles and double-drabbles. Find out more here, or return to the previous chapter: ‘A Village of Stares’.
You’re a warrior — they can’t treat you and Angelika like this!
You kick the table, sending bowls flying, and draw your sword. You may have lost your shield, but slaying these villagers will be easy…
You slash at the ones who had been pawing at the girl’s hair, but somehow you miss again and again. It’s like you’re drugged!
And now — are you seeing things? Angelika floats up from the table and towards the door. With admirers in tow, she moves outside.
And horns emerge from her head as she goes.
The villagers bow down and worship the mini-demoness…
Do you…
Thanks for reading! This story responded to Mad as a March Writing Prompt, idea 10: “Write a story involving a physical change. Perhaps it’s an injury, or perhaps something more surreal — does a character have horns sprouting from their head, or something even more sinister…?”.
