100 Word Story: REVISION One day on a farm a chicken, named Chicken Little, was out eating some corn his owner threw on the ground for him. While eating peacefully, he heard a loud thump on the ground. Chicken Little, as innocent as can be, instantly assumed the sky was falling! At once he began running through the farm yelling, "The sky is falling!" Soon enough, the pigs, the cattle, the ducks, the horses, and even the barn mice were running with him! Finally, they got to the fence where the ranch hand of the farm was. "What is all this ruckus! I was just cutting branches off the old tree by Chicken Little's pen!" Innocent Chicken Little. Flickr Revision Note:  I used a little bit of artful repetition when naming all of the different kinds of farm animals. Along with deleting some redundant words/phrases in order to make my story a bit more concise and easier to read. Bibliography: The Foolish, Timid Rabbit by Ellen C. Babbitt

The Buddha sat there, unmoved and unbothered. Weeks went by through rain, wind, and freezing temperatures. However, the Buddha still sat there, unbothered under the Tree of Knowledge. On his fourth week under the tree, the evil Mara presented himself in front of the Buddha who had recently been defeated by him.  "Blessed One, why do you tarry, you who know the path to deliverance? Blow out the lamp, quench the flame; enter Nirvana, O Blessed One; the hour has come," says Mara to the Buddha. "Mara, I must not enter Nirvana. I must now spread my word of supreme knowledge and let the world know of its beauty." says the Buddha. At that, Mara leaves the Buddha under the tree where he stays unmoving. On the fifth week comes torrential rains and freezing temperatures. The Serpent King, Mucalinda, knows that he must venture out to protect the Buddha of the extreme climate. The serpent coiled himself seven times around the Buddha in order to protect him from the downpour, th...

In the world of witchcraft and wizardry, there was an evil wizard who wreaked havoc all over the land killing or handicapping anyone through his dark magic. This wizard's name was Voldemort. One night he came into a home to destroy a family of three - a mother, father, and their son. Voldemort brutally ended the mother and father's lives, but their baby son, Harry Potter possessed a powerful magic deep within himself. As Voldemort thought up his last spell to end Harry Potter's life, he presumably vanished out of thin air due to Harry Potter's powerful magic.  Due to Harry now being an orphaned child, he was to go off and live with his aunt and uncle who didn't possess magical powers. In the world of normal humans, it was growing increasingly suspicious that there were wizards and witches living among them. The ones who possessed magic though, worked to great ends in order to keep their magic hidden from these normal humans; casting spells or drugging with potions t...

Marion after he wins the battle to take Princess Peach back.  Pixy.org Note: I wanted to do a little run-off of the Ramayana but with different characters. In one of my previous blog posts I talked about how much the Ramayana reminded me of the basic Super Mario Bros. story. It's really simply because of how Peach and Sita both get captured and the other husband/fiancé had to come in to save his loved one. I hope you enjoyed!
