Mini Sagas, college variety

MINI SAGAS
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.

Wretch in the hand by clay Hribar

Dave was a good guy. He tried to be nice, thoughtful, all that shit.
Shit, though, that’s how he felt now. He hadn’t meant to yell, call her a filthy whore.
Watching her cry was uncomfortable. He loved her, but she fucked stupid Kyle…

…I should go?
FUCK. I’m staying.

For the Boys! by clay Hribar

Her heels were high, her dress was tight, the air was frigid.
She said she did it to find a guy. So when the prince came, he would see how good she would look for him. Weather? Picayune. She partied all night with her girls.
Morning; she had pneumonia. Alone.
