100 Below: The tale of Urferd Forkbeard, part the fourth.

Urferd Forkbeard put down the axe and whetstone. He tugged his beard.

“I’ve told you before.”

“But Urferd…”

Urferd cut him off. “We can’t keep on killing and raping and pillaging. Like I said in council, this lifestyle isn’t sustainable.”

“But…”

“No! We need to farm and fish more. I’ve got animals and a vegetable patch out back. We should be farmers. We’d get along better with our neighbours. People would like us.”

“But Urferd… We’re Vikings…” Skein shook his head and walked away.

This is why Urferd “the farmer” Forkbeard was not the most feared Viking of his age.

A series worthy of Stephen R. Donaldson (whose Reave the Just and Other Tales I’m in the process of rereading)!

But I gotta tell you something, man: I finished that first story, which ends so abruptly with its “But he was not,” and burst out laughing before I looked again at the title and realized that the story wasn’t finished.

It must be said: part of me thinks you should’ve ended the story right there. This isn’t to slight the following three stories, which I enjoyed, but I do think the first one stands on its own, and it’s fucking hilarious. I’m still cackling as I type this.

PS: I think you’ve done more “100 Below”s at this point than I have. Kudos.
