Deciding the Short Story Prompt for June 2023 (Patreon)
Content
Below are the full prompts as the poll doesn't allow the full text. In the case of ties the first option that got there wins. The short story will be finished by the end of the month and will be available to all patrons.
Immortal Retirement Home:- Being immortal is all well and good, but when you've been managing your empire for 10,000 years, you really just need a break. Fortunately, prior Immortals have already set things up. A nice little pocket dimension well out of the way. You'll be in good company too, there's a bunch of Grand Archmages and a Dragon playing tabletop games, an Ascendant Priestess writing BL novels, even a Lich King who's taken up fishing.
How about a deep sea monster that ends up in a land dungeon. It's stats are high enough that it doesn't suffocate but it doesn't understand how to move on land properly. Through its flopping and fighting it makes it's way deeper and can only lament this strange new environment and the cloying need for water to wet it's gills and breath? It finds streams and puddles but nothing is deep enough and now bipeds are harrying it from behind forcing it deeper still.
Grocery Store Disappearances - I've put this one up a few times. Anyway, If you've ever heard of the Tales from the Loop RPG, this was originally an idea for a scenario for it. Basically kids are going missing in local grocery stores and now a kid and their group of friends need to figure out what is going on because their sibling has vanished in the local grocery store, the anomaly is going to move soon, and of course the parents don't believe you.
