"I went for Indie. I got Irish." (shrug) "You can do a lot worse than Irish."
"Wait a minute."
"Keep laughing, Paddy."
This was a response to a statement about writing vs tweeting, which I took as a challenge. Just because I could. I don't twit. Tweet. Whatever. But 140 characters (I ignored newlines, which probably violates how Twitter does it) is a viable short story medium. I can do less (100, 50, 25), but 140 feels about right for my preferred shortest length.
