Precious Little Things by Adrian Tschaikovsky

It's hard to classify this as a fantasy or a science fiction short story. It is nice short about ‘homunculi” who have created a society. The homunculi are doll sized beings made of wood or paper or fabric and have been brought to life by the magic of a giant trapped wizard. Their lives are interrupted when three other giant wizards break into the castle that is their home.
This is a quick read. We don't get an explanation about what is going on here - magic? science? But it is a nice quick diversion. I assume that the explanations are offered in the larger book which is the basis of this short story.
