Tony: Three tweets (from Rushton's memories)

1.     Pamela

Warm blue eyes, abundant brown hair – she held my hand, her face gentle and enquiring.  The birds were calling out along the sunlit road.


2.    A city encounter

A bald man, wearing misted glasses and wiping his sweaty pate, asked me the way to the bank.  He was heavily in debt, he said.


3.    A bridegroom’s reflections

The best man’s speech fell flat.  Sipping my wine, I trembled – what with pre-honeymoon nerves, and an excruciating pair of hired trousers.

  1. These don't remind me so much of tweets as some other literary form, though I cant quite put my finger on what. That's not to say they aren't very good.

  2. They are almost poetic Tony. I like the style. Much nicer than a tweet even if that was the homework!
