In what for me is something of an experimental form — though it’s common practice for some writers, perhaps — I decided to write a very short story on Twitter in a series of linked tweets. I let people be aware of it over on Facebook, and a compilation of said tweets was requested so it would be easier to follow. So here it is.

#FantasyVacations #1: That place in #Colorado where you can go and play with legit #wolves. I suggested this to my husband. His response?

 

#FantasyVacations #1: He said, “I’m going to say this only once. Wolves are never safe to play with. Never.”

Not sure I’m buying it, though.

 

#FantasyVacations #2: Someplace relaxing and mild with beautiful flowers and warmish water to swim in, where I can wear caftans and…

 

#FantasyVacations #2: …pretend I’m living in a Soft Surroundings catalog.

His response: “Apparently their marketing works. No caftans.”

 

#FantasyVacation #3: So how about this? Let’s go someplace and live in a castle for a week. Drink tea. Have fancy dinners. Pretend I’m…

 

#FantasyVacation #3: …living at #DowntonAbbey. I like this a lot. Does this make me terrible?

His response: “Um, servants. Who are you?”

 

#FantasyVacation #4: How about the Scottish Highlands?

His response: “No.”

Iceland? Him: “No.”

France? “The fastest nope that ever noped.”

 

#FantasyVacation #5: The wolves aren’t sounding so bad anymore, are they?

His response: *facepalm*

He’s so cute. 🙂

If you want to see more flash fiction like this in the future, but in Twitter-realtime (whatever that might mean), go on over there and follow me; my handle is @AngeliqueJamail. I don’t send out a lot of tweets, usually, so your feed won’t get flooded if you pile on.
