About This Book

WINNER: 2023 Best Book Awards – Short Story!

After a failed attempt to change his lot in life, Bill—the village’s perpetually-drunk potter—is reluctantly volunteered by his neighbors and king to join an expedition to hunt down and slay the dragon terrorizing their town.

In this dark comedy novelette from 13 Acorns: Modern Short Stories for Thoughtful Adults, Bill would much rather hide in his cave than face a fire-breathing beast. But refusal comes with its own dangers: public humiliation, royal punishment, and the very real possibility of being tossed into a pit of spiders. If Bill agrees to go, he might finally earn the respect of the villagers—assuming they can remember his name long enough to thank him.

Armed with a rusty sword, questionable courage, and more alcohol than sense, Bill must decide whether to run, resist, or attempt the impossible.

Will he miraculously defeat the dragon… or die spectacularly trying?
