    About this ebook

    The MicroSFF twitter stories - science fiction or fantasy stories, told in a single tweet of up to 140 characters - have grown quite popular since they first appeared in the spring of 2013. This collection contains one hundred microfictions, selected from the first 140 posted, as well as ten 100-word stories, and one slightly longer short story.

    O. Westin

    No story is too short to tell. In fact, many stories do not need to be drawn out. Instead, they can be pared down to a bare minimum. That is what I do on Twitter: write science fiction and fantasy stories that fit in the space of a single tweet, 140 characters.
