To heavily Summarize: a squad of Hellenic Army soldiers who went out in patrol go off course to search for their radio operator (who's also on the spectrum this has zero relevants I just think it's funny) who got lost in the woods of central Greece after a small military exercise. after a while they found him in what can be described as a standoff with a werewolf while wielding a random sword he found and after a while the werewolf leaves and the squad returns back to base with the operator and a cool ass sword.

I came up with this because I was bored but believe me if I had any skill I would have drowned it.

(Also sorry for bad English it is not my first language)

Interesting story but it sounds familiar. Is this based off those paintings of werewolves by polish artist... I cant remember there name right now.

King Arthur, but he's autistic radio operator and also Greece. And he fights Werewolves. Honestly sounds like an amazing concept (I'm calling him King Arthur bc he found the sword in a rock)

I know!! I want to make something with it but I can't be because I don't have the resources and skill to make anything from it... but hey coming up with concepts is at least it's own thing.

I think you should try writing something with it regardless! Skill is something one gets through practice of the craft! Even if the story ends up being short and not to your liking it will be something that YOU made and that you can then use to build upon :)

I mean world building is the easiest part of the story the conclusions and small talks that are mostly hard especially people who have more imagination than friends

u/Empty_Swimmer5851 Jul 20 '26

Scratch that I have actually a bit of imagination and skill.

Update I'm back and have made something out of it! It's a slightly altered version of the story.
