Savage Hunt (100character)

The savage hunt over, the cost of failure alone kept the elves in check as they gripped their toys in gore stained fingers.

----------------------------------------

This is was written as a Christmas themed 100 character story. It was difficult to write such a concise story. It initially an idea for a longer story where the elves had to go out and hunt the wild toys and bring them back for Santa to clean up and use for presents. Looking back at it, I'm not sure it comes across that way.
