A Portfolio of Microfiction from the Ramayana
A Portfolio of Microfiction from the Ramayana
Hi! My name is Laura Gibbs (@OnlineMythIndia), and this is my Portfolio for Indian Epics in Spring 2020. I will be retelling episodes from the Ramayana in the form of 100-word stories. My goal this semester is to become an expert at telling 100-word stories, and I will be very glad for your suggestions and feedback. Here is my Comment Wall. I have completed three pages so far.

Image. The banner image shows the rakshasas trying to wake Kumbhakarna; 17th-century illustration from the British Museum via Wikimedia. I chose this image for the contrast between the tiny rakshasas and the giant Kumbhakarna, kind of like the contrast between these tiny stories and the big epic that is the Ramayana.
