Ten twitter-length short stories

All my life I wanted to face my fears. But gradually. Not, you know, by being thrown out of an airplane into a vat of tarantulas. ‪#140novel

"I love you!" "Why." "Does it matter why?" "If you love me because I've got dissociative identity disorder and you like my other self, yes, it matters." ‪#140novel

She curls up by the doorway, stroking the key but never touching the keyhole. Cobwebs creep; she grays. ‪#140novel We fear unknown freedom.

I found her in a dumpster; married her same day. She stopped drugs, got a job, grew rich--& left me because I'm a trash collector. #140novel

What got me about this guy wasn't his Mohawk, piercings, or leather. It was his worn copy of Trumpet of the Swan by EB White. ‪#140novel daw

I came. I saw. I ran away screaming as the giant scorpion whipped its stinger at me. I returned with bug spray. I conquered. ‪#140novel
(May 12)
