Welcome to 140 Word Tales
140 words. Is it enough to really capture the essence of a story?
While others appreciate twitter and the immediacy of tweeting, to me 140 characters rarely seem sufficient to truly convey the weirdly wonderful and the wonderfully weird world in which we live.
However there is certainly something refreshing in having to distill a tale down to its essence. Stripping away the unessential, until the brevity and the clarity lets the narrative breathe.
Maybe in 140 words we can convey the quintessential core of the anecdote.
So, let's see what I can tell you about real events from my life. All the 'who, what, where, why, when'; all the emotions; all the strangeness, the silliness and the significance; all within 140 words.
