Description

After a failed petition to change his career, Bill, the town's drunken pottery maker, is forced by his neighbors and the king to join an expedition to slay a fearsome dragon terrorizing their village.

In this dark comedy novelette from 13 Acorns: Modern Short Stories for Thoughtful Adults, Bill faces the ultimate question: Will he dodge his duty and hide in his cave, will he find the courage to fight, or will his neighbors throw him into a pit of spiders for refusing to fight? If he agrees to join the quest, will they finally remember his name?

With a rusty sword and half-drunk courage, Bill might just stumble into a miracle, or die trying. Perhaps he will meet an unexpected kindred spirit, or perhaps he will find a way to drink more... Find out!

This short story delivers a healthy dose of dark humor with action & adventure, wrapped in a literary short story format that will keep you laughing and wondering what could possibly go wrong next!

Perfect for fans of humorous fiction and satire, this tale is a hilarious, chaotic romp through a world where even the most unlikely soul might have his minute of glory.
