I was inspired by an illustration found in the adventure book, Storm King’s Thunder, to write a piece of fan-fiction. I also wrote this story as an exercise. The exercise was to take a well-known story, such as a fairy tale, and twist the story in some way to make it different, such as by changing the POV character, a plot detail, a character’s motivation, etc., and see what you can come up with. I ended up using a D&D illustration instead of a fairy tale. I studied the illustration and tried to determine what the intended narrative the artist was going for. I then took that narrative and twisted it to create something new, and hopefully a little unexpected and fun.
I thought it turned out well and I wanted to share it with the D&D community. It is a short story of about 2,000 words. I hope you enjoy, “D&D Art Vignette: Apples”.

Nice little story you got there :) 👍
