The Guardian prints a story in140 characters or fewer. i like this and Hemingway's 5 word story. Seemed a nice idea and I thought we could play a game where each poster submits a story, shorter by one character. I tried this on a different forum and it died on its arse.

Thought i'd try here, see how it goes


So,as a starter...

Do paraphrases count?

I didn't count. I think I'm a bit longer.

I will die today.
Executed for cowardice.
No final words.
The truth will die with me.

Just to be clear, and not arsey, i was expecting a story of 139 characters (i don't mean like 101 Dalamtians). Including spaces.

You could start a rules game and make that the first rule?

When you said "one less", I thought you meant decrease the character count each time, so the stories got smaller and harder to write.

Ok, becuase when I copied and pasted yours to do a character count, it came up 139. Hence why mine was 138.

And, seriously, my phone apparently sucks at posting once only.

OK! I'll get it rolling then…

I don't know about the rest of you, but with word wrap I have to zoom out a couple of times in order for the monospacing to help.
