Haiku

Haiku
by Greg Schwartz

elven soldiers
marching through the woods
falling leaves

* * *

two dwarves
haggle over the price of something
the elf just stole

What do you think is the attraction of the fantasy genre?

I think the attraction of the fantasy genre is escape. Just like going to the movies, it's a great way to get away from the normal everyday problems and situations, and lose yourself in something completely new and foreign.
