For a while in early 2015 I gatecrashed a twitter mini-fiction party taking place under the #smalltales banner. Everybody was kind enough to look the other way as I trod on people’s feet and finished off the last of the cheese twists, which made the whole experience a highlight of the Monday commute. The resultant 100-word concocta had to be hosted somewhere, and that somewhere had to be hyperlinked, and that hyperlink happened to attract your thumbstroke stroke cursorclick, and here we both are.
