Story 2: Sita slept fitfully, dreaming of the man she yearned for. She watched as the sun rose, and tears fell from her face as she realized it would be another day without him.

Author's Note: For the first one, I chose a 6-word microfiction to re-tell Ravana's story. I found it really interesting that he thought so little of humans that he didn't even bother to ask to be invincible against them. Even though there is obviously more depth to it, this fatal flaw of his can be summarized fairly well in six words.
For the second microfiction, I chose a two-sentence story about Sita longing for Rama after seeing him from her balcony. I also wrote my week 3 story about this, and while description definitely helps the story, keeping it short is almost more emotional.
