Rono’s Debt

I wrote this story in 2018, reworked it in 2019 for a contest I never submitted to, and now decided to put the story on here rather than keep it hidden away in a drawer.

In this 7-minute-read, you meet Rono, who is an outlaw and a highwayman, robbing people for a living. But one day he encounters a foe he will not fight: a unicorn that looks as though it’s come out of the underworld.
