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.
Transformation
Tim hates his job. By day he sits at a desk and solves other peoples problems, never expressing himself, watching the clock. For at the stroke of 8:00, Tim transforms into Terra. Nails. Pads. Lipstick. Wig. Heels. Tape. Dress. Tim is gone and only Terra, Queen of the Night, remains.
The Last Goodbye
Jaina steels herself for the unthinkable. She has known him
since they were born. She has watched him grow into a man capable of great
feats of strength and compassion and devolve into a murderer and a monster.
With a swing of her saber, she says goodbye to her brother.
