Love at First Sight

Gingerbread House

 GINGERBREAD HOUSE

Premise: Wizard trapped in an oak house, waiting for someone with power to release him. Apprentice master baker, rushing to purchase his first permanent stall (his final exam before qualification), becomes trapped by the same spell that caught the wizard (with different impact). The only way he can break the spell is to lure the two goblins who cast the spell back to the scene of the crime. The goblins are masquerading as two children: Hansel and Gretel.

School Desk And Chair

 THE WAY OUT

Premise: Write a story about yourself where nothing is true. I didn't quite make the 'nothing is true', but most people wouldn't know which bits are true and which bits aren't.
