Betting on a Legend

Merrick's Last Stand, a small river town far from kings and magic. As far as anyone knows... Fenwick claims he saw a legendary monster. The Gargantu. His friends call him a liar and worse, but they'll take his wager. Together they venture into the woods to find proof. What they find changes Fenwick's life forever. When you bet on a legend, even winning carries a steep price. Betting on a Legend, a fantasy short story where average people face magic bigger than any spell.
