A Little Lore Goes a Long Way

By Alpert L Pine

All Harmon Crane wants is a Loreist who knows the Lore — is that too much to ask? Instead, he's stuck with Mort. And then there's the trio's useless leader, Jaffrey.

The World they've traveled to, which is supposed to (according to Mort) have loads of treasure within, is actually empty. To make matters worse, trouble is waiting for them back on the other side of the Portal.

Then things get REALLY bad, but only Harmon realizes what's about to happen. Which is strange, because HE'S NOT EVEN THE GROUP'S LOREIST!

If he survives the day, it might just be time to find a new adventuring crew.

A fantasy short story set in the Worlds of Adventure. Approximately 5000 words.

Alpert L Pine

Alpert L Pine lives and writes in a small cabin, off the grid, in the Northwest United States. Once per week, he treks to the nearest town on foot—rain, snow or shine—and spends the day transferring his material into a digital format, with the help of the kindly librarians whom he has befriended. When he's not writing, he spends much of his time with a metal detector, looking for a rumored Templar treasure which is said to be buried somewhere nearby. To date, he's found a few nails, an old Liberty head penny, and a strange amulet.For free stories, news about past and future releases, and more, visit his website: AlpertLPine.com
