Writing what amounts to a short story delivered 140 characters at a time produces a kind of automatic poetry and sense of suspense.  It’s a unique method of storytelling, one that we might lose if Twitter increases its character limit to a whopping 10,000. So, despite some—or perhaps all—of these stories being fake, it’s best to savor the good ones while we can.

Joe Craig, of London, England, recently offered us one of the best such stories—a tale of sex, dogs, and heroism gone wrong.

But wait. There’s more:

Please tell us that’s when you walked away, Joe.

Ya think?

Oh, Joe, at least your heart was in the right place, if not your dog.
