Mini Sagas

What is a mini saga?

To begin with, let's define what a Mini Saga is. It is a brief tale composed of precisely 50 words, exclusive of the title, that must convey a complete story. 

Examples

A Surprise Birthday

“I have a special gift for your birthday tonight,” my sexy secretary spoke softly to my ear. After work, I waited in a hotel room she booked for ‘us’. When knocked, I opened the door, seeing my wife, colleagues and her with a gigantic cake. But I stood there, naked!

A Banana Grower

While visiting a small village along the Thai-Myanmar border province of Kanchanaburi, Thongdee helped a Karen man from going to jail. The acquitted man gave him a big plot of land. The man helped him plant bananas. The plantation was successful; he quit his job and became a banana grower.

One Big Lesson Learned

The parents rushed to the mall hoping their kids to meet their two favorite stars in a Thai TV series. While waiting, the two children fought constantly and ignored their mother's warnings. Losing her patience, the mother took them back when both stars showed up. Their big lesson was learned.

(Chatuporn Insuwan)

She just 21

he barely 61,

a match made

in heaven were they.

She a tiktokist

from Sisaket or Roy-et,

I forget.

He a numismatist 

from Patuxet.

He droned on,

she grimaced,

someone scribbled and yawned.

His broken Thai

could not express

what his bride

surely guessed

“visa application denied”.
