In Challenge 5 of the Carrot Ranch Rodeo, writers were tasked with writing a complete 99-word story using Twitter. Of course, they couldn’t make it that simple. Every #Twitterflash story also had to be 11 sentences with exactly 9 words each. This was my effort which was singled out by one of the judges which I was dead chuffed about.
Is anyone else seeing what I’m seeing out there?
If this is how things end I’m getting drunk!
Apparently they come in peace, but my mate Jed’s disappeared!
How drunk am I because I think Im #insideaspaceship
I’ve managed to evade them, is anyone reading this?
Ive found Jed, watching him from an air vent.
Sweet Jesus, they seem to be probing him now!
How the dickens did they fit that in there!?!?.
I think the bloody things are laughing you know.
Oh bloody hell they’ve spotted me, PLEASE SEND HELP!
The visitors are our friends and come in peace.

“#PickALineAnyLine! If I had seen any of these lines on Twitter, I would have immediately clicked to read more. Each line is a story in itself, and I had to read faster and faster to see how it all worked out.”

Bravo!! Excellent! You are a genius!

Wow! I see assignments like this and run the other direction. I hope it’s not to rude to ask how long it took you to write this little gem?

I must publish the other i did. Think it was better it didn’t comply with the rules and I only noticed afterwards. That’ll teach me to read the rules better

Not too long as i recall. Maybe twenty minutes. It was a touch fiddly given the word limits per tweet.

Rules, Schmules…write what you write and don’t worry about rules. You’re at your best running rampant through the unruly bits of your mind.
