TweetLit #1: I Am The Hunter

Hmm, she's hip for an H&M girl. Watching her browse mall goods, unaware she's prey thrills me. H&M, Gap, Macy's, sheep! Taking her wallet was easy. She even apologized for bumping in to me. I dubbed her Mocha.

I bought a shiny, new hatchet with Mocha's credit card. I need to make space for her. I'll pick her up in a few days.

Doe's in the cage cuddling her predecessor's head. She ate the rest, eventually. Tacos for her last meal I think.

Cage cleaned, steaks, roasts, ground meat prepped, before I left, I put Doe's head in the cage. I'm ready for Mocha.

A Puzzle And A Haiku Have A Baby

I'm getting a kick out of writing these microstories. This first one was like figuring out a puzzle. How do I create a full scene with each tweet when I have less than characters? The answer: graph paper and loads of rewrites.

I've fallen in love with Sharpie Liquid Pencils. I know it's an erasable pen, but the ink looks really pencilly, and after about 24 hours it's indelible. That means lots of working time for rewrites and no smudgy notes. Yay Sharpie!
