Ok everybody, I’m hosting a mini-saga contest. A mini-saga is a 50 word story, no more, no less. Ex.
A man took his shoes to a cobbler. Next day he was arrested and sent to prison for robbery. Twenty years later he was released, found the cobbler’s ticket and, just in case, took it to the cobbler’s shop. Examining it closely, the old man said, “Come back next week”

Cool idea Tanski. I have written a few things along these lines, so I am interested in entering your contest. Very short works like this are also known as “flash fiction” or “microfiction.”
Through successful campaigns to conquer and dominate, he led his vast armies. He united and ruled an empire of wealth, opulence, and depravity. As a man, he proclaimed himself god. A brother betrayer felled him at the end of a dagger alongside fellow conspirators. O, Beware the Ides of March!
I am looking forward to reading all of the enteries on the Mini-Saga – very cool idea!
