An Act Of Kindness
An Act Of Kindness
In a far off galaxy, on the third dwarf planet in a binary star system, on a large mountainside, in a small village square, Eli, a humble carpenter, mended a broken cart wheel.
A cloaked figure approached. Earlier, he had calmed a rearing horse, helping the distressed rider—a graceful woman. That woman returned and revealed herself as the princess.
“Eli,” she said, her gown shimmering, “I owe you my life.”
Stunned, he replied, “Your Highness, it was nothing.”
With a smile, she offered him a job in the royal palace. “Your talent deserves recognition.”
His heart racing, Eli looked up at her, knowing this simple act of kindness could change everything. “I humbly accept,” he said, a spark of hope igniting within him.

Mini Saga
“A Mini saga is a very short story. It is limited to only 50 words, no more no less. A good mini saga should be interesting.”*

English Grammar Question
Why is English Grammar so hard? I get it. Oops. Don’t end a sentence with “it.” Oops, I did it again. And another thing. Wait, cannot begin a sentence with “and.”
Oh boy. Taking a break before the Grammar police start correcting me for something that they know and assume that everyone else should know.
