About this listen

WINNER: 2023 Best Book Awards

After a failed petition to change his career, Bill, the local pottery maker and town drunk, is coerced by his neighbors and king to join an expedition to hunt down and slay a mighty dragon that plagues their village.

In this dark comedy novelette from 13 Acorns- Modern Short Stories for Thoughtful Adults, will Bill try to evade his duty and hide in his cave? Will he be thrown into a pit full of spiders for refusing to fight? If he bravely agrees to go, will his neighbors finally remember his name?

Find out if old Bill will muster the courage to fight and miraculously and unexpectedly overcome the great beast (despite being half drunk with a rusty sword), or if he will die trying!

Genre: Comedy, dark comedy, satire.

Size: 14,000 words.

Parent work: 13 Acorns- Modern Short Stories for Thoughtful Adults.
