The next challenge - Mini Sagas!

by franpal @ 26. Aug. 2007. - 12:50:42

Ok, so not one to dwell on anything too long and yes I know I still have one 100 word story yet to write :)) I have decided to challenge you all to write a mini saga.

If you thought 100-word stories were challenging then wait until you try to fit a story into 50 words!

Yes, that is the mini saga, an incredibly short tale and a hair-pulling experience for the author.

To give you an idea, here's a mini saga I wrote some time ago:

A Farmers Wife

potato farming

Tall and lean Jim met short and fat Cynthia.

They endured 40 years of marital bliss, he enjoyed gardening, she liked chips...

Until one day his potatoes didn't come up to scratch, so she buried him under his vegetable plot and eloped to Jersey with an old, bald farmer.

Any new challenges are welcome and in the meantime, for anybody who wants to accept my challenge here are a few titles:

Midnight Molasses

The Girl with the Pink Hair

Grumpy old Men

A Barnyard Affair

Have fun :)

Must we use only the titles you've given, or can we make create our own? I wrote and posted my mini saga before I found out. I apologize! At any rate, it's there.

Here's my tale

Two grumpy old men got tired of being alone and went to live with two grumpy old women who lived alone. After a while the two grumpy old women realized that they couldn't stand grumpy old men so they killed and buried them and went back to living alone.
