I really enjoyed this.
Out of all the stories I’ve read, this probably follows the theme to the greatest extent. It drags a little in the beginning, but once you get to the action, it’s pretty gripping.
I love how you used Orcs, a classic stereotype of stupid characters, as the intellect for this story, and the follow-through worked well for the ending. You didn’t flinch, and the story is all the better for the ending.
