Mini Sagas (25pts)

 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. Here are two examples:

1)Twenty years ago, Kate came into a world full of danger. She had an abusive father who had left some scars. She had a mother who was so drunk all of the time, this didn’t matter much to her. She had a dream to run away from all of that.

2)A happy boy ran down the lane. He was running to the upcoming tryouts. He was running for his life, it felt. He wanted this so bad, he could taste the sweet victory ahead of him. That final spot on the team was in the palm of his young hands.
