Novelty Twitter accounts actually worth following.

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

I would like to create this thread to share my love of the Very Short Story account. They don't post that often but man is it worth it when they do. As you probably got from the title, basically they tweet entire stories in 140 characters or less. It is of course an impressive challenge to come up with a full narrative in just one or two sentences and it is even more impressive that they actually come up with genuinely interesting ones. Take for example their latest one:

Denise is afraid someone will see her. She tries to be invisible. It's working. No one has come to her apartment in years.

Bloody brilliant. Anything more would be superfluous and it makes you think and speculate about so many things.

Go on then, bring up your own examples.

I love this account!, been following for a few years now, it's gold!

This is pretty much the only one worth following, so good!, he's done a Q&A and he said he gets his story inspiration from word association, he asks for a word and thinks of stories, such beautiful little tweets on this acct!

It's a guy purportedly running Epcot Center's social media. It's hilariously mundane and depressing.

Blast you, EXACTLY the account I was coming in here to post about.

They had a conversation with Andy Daly late last week, I think, which was fantastic.
