Death Role
We’ll all play a role in the apocalypse. Some of us will live, some will die and a few of us may become lost to our friends and family in the abyss of the spreading plague.
At Crypticon Seattle 2013, I offered fans the opportunity to become characters in my dying world. A location, to set the scene, was drawn from a bag. A roll of a die determined the outcome of the story. The chapters that will follow, all under the “Death Role” category, are the product of this little game.
The stories feature real people in fictional situations with sometimes gruesome result. All characters are used with permission and last names have been withheld for privacy. Enjoy and do forgive minor errors!
