What is a mini-saga?


A mini saga is a story told in exactly 50 words.






Here are some examples:




Perpetual Motion

John Morgan (UK) 13th June, 2002

"Water should never lie still" the old gypsy said, joining two puddles together with a stick. The businessman was intrigued and had an idea. He spoke to the government and announced his new plan to join two larger puddles together. Ships now sail through Panama instead of around Cape Horn.







Full Bloom

Miki Chono (Japan), 12th June, 2002. Planning to study for a BA in Business Studies.

The cherry blossoms are in full bloom

Spring is mild but cruel

She feels the pain of parting

He is no longer here

Her sun has gone

Although people meet each other coincidentally, the separation means something

She still doesn't know the meaning

She is always upset about her life






Division of Labour

Hassan Soleimani (Iran), 12th June, 2002. Planning to study PhD in Law.

Four friends went on a journey. After walking they found a place to rest and eat. Each said they would do something. One said "I've prepared a meal". Another said "I'll start a fire". The third said "I'll build a shelter", while the fourth said "I am ready to eat".
