Indian Epics by Reid

Six Word Story: Treasure the silence. It is key. Hint Fiction: Born different into this world, I must stay silent. I fear I may out myself in the place I don't belong. Author's Note: These are loosely based off the tale  Silence is Golden  by W. H. D. Rouse. In that story, the character si unable to make a noise lest the other around him know he's different and treat him as so. One day, he breaks and he is forced to leave the group in shame. It was hard to fit it all into these short stories, but I wanted to get the main point of silence being so important across. Should've been silenced

The Jataka Tales are already pretty short, so turning them into microfictions is pretty simple. I did one of these previously with the Girly-face elephant story, but this time I wanted to revisit a different story. 6 WORD STORY Coming together, we are the strongest. TWITTERATURE @QuailCatcher2020: These damn quails are working together! I swear they'll break one day and I'll be victorious again! Author's note: The Quarrelsome Quails by Noor Inayat is a story all about working together even in stressful situations. The premise is simple, and I wanted to think of what an angry twitter poster would post when dealing with these quarrelsome quails. Blue-headed quail dove

Microfiction versions of The Elephant Girly-face 6 Word Story Elephant hear, elephant do, it's simple! Two Sentence Story The sweet, sweet elephant can quickly change His emotions, influenced by all, are great in range Author's Note: These microfictions are based off  The Elephant Girly Face by Ellen C. Babbitt. Going into these, I had only ever read one other microfiction, and never written one. Writing them based on an already short Jataka tale made it much easier. I tried to keep only the main point as to make it as short as possible, and I think it worked out pretty well! Lucy the Elephant
