Writing with a constraint, the way you do here, is a fabulous way to free up your imagination. I really like how this all comes together, the way you tell a complete story (and give us a complete character) in these short bursts of messages. Terrific idea. Terrific execution. Hmm...maybe I'll have you write a story in tweets.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much imagination in this piece. I love that you can draw such a complete character without any outside narration at all.
