What’s that, you say? I’ve done too many microfiction pieces? Yeah, probably. (Oh, look, there’s more.)

Why would I then take the insane step to add Twitter #microstory pieces to the whole thing? I don’t know. I think I just needed another outlet to get ideas out there without, you know, getting invested. There are too many sparkly little nothings and just too little time to devote to them, you know?

I honestly haven’t decided if I’ll take this “project” very far, but I’ll do compilation posts every so often just so these stories have somewhere to rest other than the trash heap Twitter may become. Plus, Medium is a site for readers, and these microstories get lost in the shuffle due to Twitter’s algorithm.

I hope you enjoy these story bites — as well as a little discussion about the idea, a potential song pairing, and crumbs of where the story could go in a longer format.
