Twittories.wikispaces.com - Twitter Short Stories

Short stories are by nature, short. In fact Hemingway once penned a story in six words.

It should be no surprise that we now have the 140 word short story, aka Twittories. Yes, now Twitter has become a medium for the output of fictions (and not simple lies that we oft may jot down for kicks, but actual crafted things with some literary intention behind them). This is meant to be a group effort. Each single entry must contain no more than 140 characters (typical tweet number). From there, other users add their own story fragments until the whole thing is completed with 140 entries or 19600 characters. While the stories may not win any Pulitzers they can be quite entertaining—think haiku-esque pulp fiction. The first work is entitled “The Darkness Inside.”
