MINI SAGAS
Write two fifty-word mini-sagas. The origins of the saga comes from Icelandic
prose dating back to the 12th century when locals would recount their warrior
battles. Today, a saga is referred to as a modern heroic narrative.
Your mini-saga should have 50 words. No more, no less. The stories must
have a beginning, middle and end. They must be interesting, and they may
not be autobiographical. Engage the reader.
And here are mine!
Tut was a boy of clear conscience. With
nothing to fear he put his heart on the scale. It would measure his
heart against the feather on the other side. The scale that'd decided
which afterlife he went to. Nothing to fear he put it on the scale
It sank.
Running through the woods I came across
a meadow. The deer drank form it, the birds circled around it, the
trees pined for it. I stepped closer to marvel at this divine source
and they did not move. “Come partake of me,” said the meadow. And
so I did, forever.
