Tweet Tales Tuesday Week 203
December 15, 2015
15 Minute Tweet TalesI hope everyone’s holiday prep is going well. I managed a first this year – I ordered everything online. Even my sticking stuffers and Christmas cards, which I usually venture out to buy. But this year, I’m feeling more anti-crowd than usual, so I let my fingers do the shopping. It was awesome, although I’m not sure the UPS man would agree.
 
And now here are my 15 Minute Tweet Tales for the past week:
 
12/9 – It's quite the coup de theatre when Ebenezer drops dead in Act 1. Narrative twist? Actor drama? Tiny Tim screams, "He's not breathing."
 
12/10 – Eyes barely open, she stumbles into the bathroom and ends up with a wet butt. He left the seat up yet again. It becomes the dies irae.
 
12/11 – Warm relief floods her body as the priest murmurs, "Ego te absolvo." Of course, she hadn't confessed her impure thoughts were about him.
 
12/12 – The waitress asks, "What do you want?" Ivy says, "Je ne sais pas," and starts crying. Her ex ran her life for so long, she has no idea.
 
12/13 – Sweat dripped from the professor's filthy hair and food smeared his shirt. "Magister dixit" was not likely to cut it for his students.
 
12/14 – She watches the news hoping the whole Trump campaign is merely panem et circenses, but in her heart she fears de-evolution has begun.
 
12/15 – Tired of having ears tugged by Baby, Dog moves across the room. Baby learns solvitur ambulando after several attempts at first steps.
 
Play along and write tweet tales for the above words. If you’re willing to share, post them on twitter with the hashtag #15tt or add them below in the comments because I’d love to read them. Any thoughts about this week's tweet tales or #15tt words?
