Mini Sagas

As commented in class, a mini saga is a short story told in 50 words. With some discipline and creativity, you can say a lot in 50 words. Find an example from Squidoo.com below:


Love at first sight

John was a regular in that train. Today seemed different, probably because of Sally who was in New York for work. They started the conversation casually but both became very close in less than thirty minutes. They exchanged phone numbers, of course. John promptly called a day later – “Wrong number!”


I'd like you to be inventive, ingenious and write down your minisagas in the comment section. Don't be shy!

We´ve known each other for a long time. I always knew I didn´t like him. He never smiled or had a kind word to me. A casual fact did not back him to see. I now miss him.
Perhaps I should buy me another mirror.

WELLCOME TO MY GROUP.

I can not stand the ignorance of people and the double face of the society. Every day I wake up in the same nightmare. People grouping in teams for being stronger. The identity of a group makes people so stupid. People believe more important if they belong to a group.

In that particular moment, he decided not to tell it anybody else. He realized It's easier to look a odd person. In addition, he knew that he was going to have this silent and such a serious problem the rest of his life. Perhaps, someday, the cure may be found...

The English teacher frowned. Something wasn’t quite right. The students were working in absolute silence; some were reading, some were writing, some were looking in a dictionary. Everyone was occupied, so what was on earth was wrong? She checked her timetable. Yes, she thought so…
This was a CONVERSATION class!

Dinner time
She still hadn’t recover after strange yesterday’s accident. Although she had been slipping all day she was weak. But she felt better as soon as she went out. She knew that she looked great in the moonlight and suddenly she stopped worrying about two, hardly visible marks on her neck.

Be careful with your keys

My sister and her husband came back home from holidays, she annoyed inmediately because there were new furniture in the living-room and a awful furry carpet in the bedroom. Her mother-in law had come in unexpectedly and decorated as her like. If she had known it, she wouldn´t have given her the keys.

The discovery.

There were several archeological diggings, and two embalmed bodies were found. They had been investigating during weeks, and the archaelogist in charge said to his colleages:
- " These bodies are Adan and Eva".
- "Why"- Everybody replied.
- " It´s obviously",-He answered- " Did not you realise, that they have not got navel?".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

She felt him very strange. Lately, he was always talking on phone, looking on the internet and very busy.
She thought he was cheating on her.
Next day, when she arrived at home, he said 'Happy birthday!'.
He wasn't cheating on her. He was preparing her a surprise birthday party.

"She is an interior designer so her house is wonderful with beautiful furniture, when we arrive you will check it", my aunt said. We were going on holidays to her friend´s house. But when we opened the door the house was empty... her friend´s ex-husband had taken all furniture out!...

RELAXING TIME

He had already the poison. “I hate her so much…” He thought while he was preparing himself a cup of tea. He always had been forgetful but this time he had proposed put all his attention so that all would go well. “Oh wait! What strange flavor has this tea…”

My close friend called me to tell that she had received an invitation by the "Queen".
She was very nervous because she hadn´t had enough time.
She found out that it was the Queen at the pram in her high school who had invited her.
