Fantasy
A Fair Trade
Crowd roars as we begin the final melee. All are here for their prize, and mine means her freedom. We all rush towards each other, weapons in hand. Some are faster, some are stronger, none are tougher. I take my shots, give them back harder. Darkness comes but I’m the last one to fall.

Edible Outdoors
It was cold. I was in the woods during an especially harsh winter. I was out of food and water. I went outside, barley able to bare the weather, and gathered some frozen berries and nuts. I’m glad I found anything. I found a frozen rabbit. I grabbed a handful of snow and put it in my cup. I brought everything back to my tent and let it thaw. I dried out some wet logs and started a fire to cook the rabbit. That’s what I ate with the berries and nuts. I drank the melted snow. Back to sleep.

LEGEND OF THE KEEPERS’ MOONSTONE
Two hundred years ago, there was a village home to a species of human-like figures, who glided in the sky with silky wings fluttering as they bounced from one place to another. They were called The Keepers, something humans called seasonal-born pixies. Their village was called Lexilot. As the lore goes, The Keepers lived a life of longevity as they fulfilled their roles dutifully.

Title
I can’t think of a name, subtitle or subject for this story. What should I call it? What should it be about? Should it be fiction or fantasy? A mystery perhaps? Something for the humanity section? Oh I can’t decide. What do I do. This is the worst case of writers block I’ve ever had. Should I make it a story about a bank robber? An archiologist who thinks everything belongs in a museum? Or maybe a detective on the brink of solving a major crime? I just don’t know, I’m out of ideas. This stinks! This really stinks!
