I am delighted to present another Twitter tale from a clever artist. She decided to participate in my challenge. If you aren't familiar with what I'm referring to, please check out this previous post, Twitter Talent.Lynn of UnaOdd wrote this fabulous story in less than 140 characters...She was walking along the railroad tracks when her husband called. "He's gone... please come home" She fell....no one there to catch her.I love it! It's a romance and a mystery with a hint of desperation and tragedy. Well done, Lynn. Also, I'd like to share with you one of my favorite pieces in Lynn's beautiful shop.The Ruby Red Bangle Bracelet

Those of you who are on Twitter will understand how addicting it can get. I personally find it fun and easy, a great way to check in on friends to see what's cookin'.
Recently I posed a question, or shall I say a challenge, for my Twitter friends. I asked them to write a Twitter story. For those of you who aren't familiar with Twitter, each entry you make must be in 140 characters or less. You are forced to make it short and sweet, which for me, can be quite difficult at times.
In essence, I asked for a story in 140 characters or less. For example, here are two tales that I wrote...it's harder than you think to write a story in 140 or less...
He burst into the room, raw, shaken. “I think I just shot her. She was chasing me; I turned, shot, then silence. Please go see."
And story #2 (which you may recognize from a previous blog post)...
The fine young son asked his mom, "Guess what?” Mom said, "What, honey?” Son says "I like pie". A daily act of torture.
So far, I have had three lovely and talented responses to this challenge. I am going to post them here. I hope you all will be inspired to write one and send it to me via Etsy. The only rule is it must be written with 140 characters or less. I would love to have many posts just like this, with a treasure trove of mini tales.
~Tale by Phydeaux;
“Apocalypse is upon us.” His voice steady, eyes calm. She swallowed a sob, clutching the pilfered thin mints to her chest.
~Tale by Fray;
It was a love like no other; warm, twisted. "Damn you! I surrender!" Into the woolen madness she fell, defeated, yet so very...happy.
~Tale by Paperhill;
"Do you ever feel alone, even when you're not?" she asked him, a stranger. He replied, "I did, until I stood here, with you". She smiled.
Aren't all three stories fabulous? I'm so impressed and completely delighted that these three authors participated in my little game. I hope you will join in the fun!
