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.
Jeffery, a young boy, wanted to play baseball. All day long he would practice outside in the blazing summer sun. Swinging his bat, and chasing down the balls after hitting them a great distance. Jeff's mom signed him up for little league in the Spring and the rest is history.
With Winter approaching and supplies running low the rebel troops' morale was down. If they could not survive the extreme conditions all of their bloodshed would be in vain. Some soldiers resorted to eating the leather on their boots, however the attitude completely changed in camp when General Washington arrived.
