A Short Story Of Gnoll Blighter's Struggle

No matter how many arrows fell on the Ettins, they kept marching forward. The Elves soldiers formed rows of shields to slow the Ettins. Around them mages, archers, and Druids, prepared to fire everything the could.
The Ettins were slightly weakened by the time they had reached the Elven wall. They had all taken damage, but some had fallen. In their place, the strongest Gnolls marched. Then the Perythons came. They dropped Gnolls on the Elves, distracting the defence. But no the heros. Bruce and Wilbur charged, and destroyed the weaker Gnolls.

    Throughout the last seven weeks I have learned a lot as a writer through reading works written by Johnson, Dawkins, Barthelme, and King. Through analyzing their techniques and continuing to practice I have become a better fiction writer. These writers have taught me how to use concrete sensory detail to reveal emotion and tone. In addition, they taught me the importance of white space, poetic language, building tension, and creating dialogue that reveals character. While writing my midterm story, Don't Run, I worked to embed many of these elements into the piece.…
